I mentioned yesterday on my post that I work at the Georgia Pecan Growers Association when I’m at home. One of my “fun facts” that I shared with the other LCs was that I can rattle off lots of useless information about pecans. (How many pecans are used to make a pecan pie? About 78.) I am always looking for recipes that use pecans for our magazine at work – The Pecan Grower. I came across this recipe for Pecan Pie Cookies and they looked so delicious I just had to try it for myself! I made this batch today as a yummy treat for my Consultant Sisters tomorrow when we move into ADPi Headquarters!
For the cookies, you will need –
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
¾ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Combine all cookie ingredients except flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour and baking powder. Beat until well mixed.
Shape dough into 1-1/4 inch balls and place 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
Make indentation in each cookie with thumb;
rotate thumb to hollow out slightly.
Now, for the filling you will need –
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine all filling ingredients in small bowl;
fill each cookie with 1 rounded tsp.
Bake on 350-degrees for 8-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
Enjoy!
