Notes
These cookies are meant to be crisp. If you under bake them, they will be thin and slightly chewy.
Be sure to use raw, unsalted pecans to make this recipe. You can even buy the pecans pre-chopped.
Using brown sugar with baking soda and no baking powder or granulated sugar makes these cookies crispy on the edges but chewy in the center.
These would make great pecan Christmas cookies! They're a fairly sturdy cookie, so they'd be perfect for gifting or including in cookie boxes.
Make sure both the eggs and butter are at room temperature before beginning the recipe, this ensures that the cookies are crispy on the edges and chewy in the center.
