Toasting the pecans beforehand deepens their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. For a more intense vanilla flavor, consider using vanilla bean paste. If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping. Store the Pecan Crescents in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
