Notes

  • Dough will be thick due to mix-ins.
  • Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  • Toast pecans for deeper flavor.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store in airtight container up to 5 days.
  • Freeze baked cookies or dough up to 3 months.
  • Warm briefly before serving for soft texture.
