Butter Pecan Cookies

I love butter pecan cookies! I love the way they melt in your mouth. I love the taste of pecans, and of course the taste of butter. These cookies lasted about an hour here.

By the way, here’s a tip I learned over lunch with Bay Area pastry chef Shuna Fish Lydon of Eggbeater. Beat the butter first. Then add sugar and beat them together. This is the way it is supposed to be done. (Thanks Shuna!)
