Ingredients
-
1 cup Sunbest Natural Pecans, chopped

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp salt
For the filling:

½ cup brown sugar, packed

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tbsp light corn syrup

Instructions
1. Make the cookie dough:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped Sunbest Natural Pecans.
2. Prepare the filling:
In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Assemble cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down slightly to form small disks. Make a small indentation in the center of each cookie to hold the filling.
4. Add filling:
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pecan pie filling into each indentation.
5. Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and filling is bubbly.
6. Cool and enjoy:
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
