2. Brown the Butter: In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to watch it closely and avoid burning. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool. Reserve 1/2 cup of the browned butter for the icing.

3. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups of the cooled brown butter. Beat until well combined and cool to the touch.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: To the butter mixture, add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Form Cookies: Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto a greased or lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

7. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Prepare the Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and hot water until smooth. Gradually add the reserved brown butter, stirring until you achieve a smooth icing consistency.

10. Ice the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle or spread the icing over the tops of the cookies using a spoon or spatula.

11. Serve: Allow the icing to set before serving, then enjoy these irresistible brown butter cookies!
