- 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
- ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips (for drizzling)
Steps
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.
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.
