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
- You can swap out pecans for other nuts such as walnuts, almonds, or cashews if desired.
- For a different twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies for an added touch of decadence.
- To make the cookies firmer, let them cool longer in the refrigerator or cook the caramel mixture a bit longer to thicken.
