For an even more intense nutty flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Don't skip the chilling step! It's essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of granulated sugar slightly. Store the baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
