Ingredients
- 1 Single Pie Crust unbaked, homemade or purchased
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup corn syrup
- 2 eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Optional
- ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips for drizzling
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.
Cup of Yum
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.
