Instructions
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Notes
- For a quicker set time, refrigerate the cookies after shaping.
- Use chopped pecans for better texture; you can toast them slightly for enhanced flavor if desired.
- Ensure constant stirring while boiling the mixture to prevent burning.
- These cookies are best eaten within a week for optimal freshness.
- You can substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
