For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter in the icing. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Store the assembled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
