Yummy Butter Pecan Cookies

I got this recipe from one of the bloggers and have tried it myself, oh boy! It is so good! So good that I have to hide it from my hubby and son for these guys love cookies so much. I have posted it here knowing you people who are cookie lovers might want to try it, plus you can give it to your neighbors and friends this Christmas. I am sure I will; it is one of the many traditions we do on Christmas.
