Pecan Pie Cookies

Pecan Pie Cookies

Cookie:
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup softened butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder

Filling:
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine first 4 cookie ingredients in large bowl.  Beat until creamy.  Add flour and baking powder and beat until well mixed.

Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Make indentations in each with thumb, rotating your thumb to hollow out the indentation slightly.  Or make it easy on yourself and just pick up the ball and create a hollow in it (it doesn't have to be so complicated!)

Combine filling ingredients in small bowl.  Fill each cookie with 1 rounded teaspoon of filling.  Bake for 8-12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool for at least one minute before removing.

I ended up using 1/2 cup of whipping cream as I messed up so they were a bit flat and ran a bit but they were still tasty.  Super easy and tasty and it's like mini pecan pies with no karo syrup.  HELLO!

Tummy...prepare to be happy!
