Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Butter must be softened at room temperature for proper dough formation
- • Mix until a cohesive dough forms; under‑mixting leaves crumbly texture
- • Bake at 375°F for exactly 18 minutes; overbaking makes cookies too hard
- • Check doneness by light golden edges and a soft center
Safety Warnings
- • Handle the hot oven and baking pan with oven mitts to avoid burns
- • Use a sharp knife carefully when chopping pecans
- • Do not leave the oven unattended while baking
