Preparation Steps

  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra toasty flavor, toast your pecans before adding them to the dough. Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their chewy texture.
