For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. If the dough is too soft to handle after chilling, freeze it for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. These cookies can be frozen after baking. Thaw completely before serving. Experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for a variation on the original recipe.
