These are hands down the best cookies I’ve ever made. Followed the recipe off measurements (aside from weighing the flour) and the texture is absolutely phenomenal. Perfect chew while still having a really nice outside crisp, didn’t deflate at all coming out of the oven, and the Heath bits are absolutely delicious. I did end up with about 32 cookies out of the batch so I apparently wasn’t portioning quite out to 1 1/2 tbsp but that’s a me problem. Definitely gonna use the dough recipe in the future for any other kind of cookies I want to make and just sub out for chocolate chips or whatever. 10/5 stars, would and will make again

I love this recipe as published with no modifications, the roasted pecans give this cookie a wonderfully flavorful elegance and pairs nicely with a chocolate expresso.

These is the BEST recipe for butter pecan cookies. I made them with just a couple changes. I added an additional 1 tsp of bourbon vanilla paste and I soaked the pecans in bourbon and salt for 2 hrs before roasting them for 12 minutes (turning after 6 min). These have a nice crisp on the outside and chew on the inside and excellent flavor.

I rarely have pecans but had a big bag left over from Easter, so I found this recipe.
Dee-freaking-licious. Thank you so much. I followed the recipe to the letter and they came out perfect. My wife and kids loved them.

In reply to Maggie McCullough. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Maggie! Is it possible they were over-baked?

Disappointed in the results. I weighed the flour, and followed the recipe and instructions to the t. They came out cake like instead of chewy. I think I made them bigger than the 1 1/2 tsp
Any thoughts?

My daughter wanted cookies and I had an overabundance of pecans, so I made these for the first time. They’re so good!! I’ll definitely be adding them into my rotation.
The only change I made was using skor bits instead of the toffee bits because that is what I had on hand.
The whole family loved the cookies!! Thanks for the great recipe.

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run. I make a version of these. I pulse the pecans in my food processor then mix them in a mixture of heated butter, brown sugar, butter vanilla and regular vanilla. Once cooled I add those to the dough, I do add a bit more flour. Omg amazing! I get so many compliments. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

In reply to Dani. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Dani! I would try replacing your baking soda or baking powder. :(

In reply to Sam Merritt.

unfortunately they taste like baking soda. there’s nothing acidic in the recipe to help neutralize the baking soda. bummer

In reply to Nee. I haven't personally tried using brown butter in these cookies so I can't say for sure what/if you would need to change anything.

Hi. I’ve made this recipe a few times. Love them. Love pecans! I’d like to brown the butter.Do I need to change the amount of butter? Change anything?
