Slightly sweet, buttery and with the perfect crunch, these Butter Pecan Cookies make a great dessert to end any meal! I love these cookies because they are great for so many occasions! From a classic Christmas Cookie recipe to a light and fresh dessert after a summer cookout, you can't go wrong!

If you want to liven this recipe up a bit, add some toffee bits into the mix!
While I believe Brown Sugar is the star of this recipe, try rolling your dough balls in some granulated sugar before baking them. It will add a sparkle to the cookie!
Bake these cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. The center will still look soft and undercooked. That is OK! Take them out, they will continue to cook.
Serve these warm with some ice cream on top. Vanilla or even Butter Pecan flavored ice cream would be perfect!
Or, make these into Butter Pecan Ice Cream Sandwiches. Let the cookies fully cool, soften the ice cream and form it into a filling between two cookies. Wrap them in parchment paper and put back into the freezer for at least one hour! You can sprinkle toffee chips around the outside for extra fun!
