Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar Cookie Base:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Pecan Pie Topping:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

Prepare the Sugar Cookie Base:

  1. Mix the Dough:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
    • Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until a dough forms.
  2. Shape the Cookies:
    • Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then slightly flatten to form a thick disc. Use your fingers to create a slight indentation in the center of each cookie to hold the pecan topping.
  3. Bake the Cookies:
    • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Pecan Pie Topping:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble.
    • Remove from heat and whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  2. Assemble the Cookies:
    • Spoon the warm pecan pie filling into the indentation of each cooled cookie, filling generously.
  3. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cookies to cool and the topping to set for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • You can toast the pecans for extra flavor before adding them to the filling.
  • Serve warm for a gooey treat by microwaving for 10 seconds before eating!
