Pecan Pie Cookies

By scratch cook

Ingredients

• 1 prepared single pie crust (homemade or purchased, I used Pillsbury)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 2 eggs
• teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.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.
3.Unroll dough and using a 3" cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold about ?-1/4" up on the edges.
4.Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle.

5.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.
Cool until set.
