Butter Pecan Cookie Recipe
Our family loves toasted pecans, so it is no surprise that we have a Butter Pecan Cookie Recipe on this site. They melt in your mouth and are filled with a wonderful buttery pecan flavor. Out of all the pecan cookie recipes, this is our favorite.
When you have finished toasting the pecans, make sure you chop them into little pieces. Large pieces of pecans will make your cookies look lumpy.
When flattening the dough balls with the bottom of a glass, don't press too hard. The flattened balls should be about 1/2 inch tall.

Baking sheets may be ungreased, or lined with parchment paper. Rotate the baking pan halfway through the cooking time. This will ensure that the cookies cook more evenly.
