For a richer bourbon flavor, consider using a higher-proof bourbon or adding a touch more to the recipe. Be mindful of the added liquid, though, as it can affect the cookie's texture. To enhance the pecan flavor, toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let them cool completely before adding them to the dough. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
