Butter Pecan Cookies
Soft, chewy, buttery biscuits blended with toasted pecans and the flavor of brown sugar
Maybe it's just me, but I think pecan butter is an underappreciated ice cream flavor. It's often overlooked and jogged with the "boring" ice cream crowd with a pistachio-raisin lump. And that is exactly why this cookie recipe is made today. It's salty, sweet, and rich in buttery flavor.
The pecans that make these cookies so great. The sweet and salty flavor of pecans is essential to its flavor. If you never toast the nuts before adding them to the recipe, you'll lose out on a lot. I already did the calculation yesterday. It is really much better
