Equipment

  • oven (adjusted to the center rack position)
  • 24-count mini muffin tin
  • handmixer
  • large bowls (2)
  • Wooden Spoon
  • tablespoon scoop
  • baking spray

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 17.5 ounces sugar cookie dough mix
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Pecan Pie Filling

  • cup pecans shelled, rough chopped
  • ¼ cup Karo® Syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup light brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 24-count muffin tin with nonstick spray, or shortening and a dusting of flour.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cookie dough ingredients until combined and a ball of dough forms. Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scooper, remove balls of dough, and roll them in your hands to perfect the ball size. Add one ball of dough to each space. Using your thumb, make indents in each cookie. Bake for 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix all the pecan pie ingredients together. Once cookies are parbaked, use a greased wooden spoon and insert the end into each cookie to make space for the pecan pie filling. Scoop ¾ tablespoon of filling into each.
  • Return cookies to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes. Cookies will be slightly golden brown and feel firm to the touch. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
