prep time : 15 minutes
cook time : 10 minutes
total time : 25 minutes
servings : 12 cookies
ingredients
- ▢1 prepared single pie crust homemade or purchased, I used Pillsbury
- ▢2 tablespoons butter melted
- ▢½ cup pecans chopped
- ▢⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- ▢¼ cup corn syrup
- ▢2 eggs
- ▢⅛ teaspoon salt
optional
- ▢¼ cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chip for decorating
instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs. While constantly stirring, cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat just until thickened. (You don’t want it dry, just slightly thickened, about the consistency of pudding). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unroll dough and using a 3″ cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold about ⅛-¼″ up on the edges.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle.
- Place on a parchment lined pan (it’s important to line it) and bake 8 minutes or until filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
optional
- Place chocolate chips in a small Ziploc bag (use brand name, the store brands tend to leak). Microwave about 15 seconds or until mostly melted. Snip off a tiny corner of the baggie and drizzle chocolate over the cookies. Cool until set.
