Pecan Pie Cookies
What You'll Need
- One prepared single pie crust (homemade or purchased, I used Pillsbury)
- Two tablespoons butter, melted
- One half cup pecans, chopped
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- One quarter cup corn syrup
- Two eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- One quarter cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chip for decorating.
optional
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large non-stick pan, combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs.
- Cook on the stove top 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 1/8-1/4" 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.
- 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.
