Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Moisture Magic 💧
    Replace oil with unsweetened applesauce to keep cookies incredibly moist while reducing fat content without sacrificing texture.
  • Chill for Perfection 🧊
    Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a more concentrated butter pecan flavor.
  • Toasting Technique 🥜
    Lightly toast pecans before adding to the mix to intensify their nutty flavor and add a deeper, more complex taste to the cookies.
  • Sizing Secrets 📏
    Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing, which ensures even baking and creates a professional-looking batch of cookies.
  • Storage Wisdom 🍪
    Store cookies between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container to maintain softness and prevent them from drying out.
