For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. Ensure the butter is properly softened for a smooth and creamy dough. Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. A pinch of salt in the dough enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors. Experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark or white chocolate.
