- For best results, use fresh butter and pecans for the recipe.
- Be sure to sift the confectioner sugar before adding it to the butter.
- Instead of butter, use coconut oil. This substitution will make the cookies vegan and dairy-free, while still providing the same texture.
- Instead of pecans, use walnuts. This will add a different flavor to the cookies while still providing the same crunchiness.
