Notes
- To toast the pecans, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully to ensure that the pecans do not burn.
- Be sure to compact the brittle dough when pressing it into a thin layer to ensure that the cookie brittle stays together when cooked.
