Butter Pecan Cookies
The butter-pecan flavor combination is known especially in the United States, where this flavor combination is used in puddings, ice creams, cakes, and, of course, cookies.
The fact that the butter used in the cookies is browned and has a sweet caramel smell gives it a special flavor boost.
