Ingredients

12 servings
  • 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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. 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.

  3. Unroll dough and using a 3″ cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold about ⅛-¼″ 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.

  6. 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.
