Tips:
- Use ripe pears for the best flavor. If your pears are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft.
- Be sure to brown the butter until it is a deep golden brown color. This will give the cookies a rich, nutty flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
