        \nLet the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Optional Praline Topping<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together.<\/li>\n
        2. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for about 2\u20133 minutes<\/strong> until slightly thickened.<\/li>\n
        3. Mix in the chopped pecans.<\/li>\n
        4. Drizzle the warm praline sauce over the cooled cookies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Serving Tips<\/h4>\n
