These were fabulous. Almost too buttery to be believed! I might reduce the butter just a smidge next time. I also added a pinch of salt. I got 2 dozen cookies and I toasted the pecans before chopping. Don't even want to know the calorie and fat content - it doesn't matter! These are a treat to be savored.
