For the best texture, ensure the butter is properly softened but not melted. Sifting the cake flour is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture. Finely chopping the pecans will help them incorporate evenly into the dough. Rolling the cookies in confectioners' sugar twice ensures a beautiful, sweet coating.
