For a richer flavor, try using browned butter. Allow the browned butter to cool and solidify slightly before creaming with the sugar. Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls.
