Categories     Desserts     Nut Dessert Recipes     Pecan Dessert Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
¾ cup finely chopped pecans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup brown sugar, packed
¾ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan, and stir in the confectioners' sugar and corn syrup until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often, and stir in the pecans until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to chill.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift the flour and baking powder together in a bowl, and set aside.
  • Beat brown sugar, 3/4 cup butter, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until well mixed. Pinch off about 1 tablespoon of dough, and roll it into a ball. Press the dough into the bottom of an ungreased cupcake pan cup, and use your thumb to press the dough into a small piecrust shape, with 1/4-inch walls up the sides of the cupcake cup. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Fill each little crust with about 1 teaspoon of the prepared pecan filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookie shells are lightly browned, 10 to 13 minutes. Watch closely after 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool in the cupcake pans for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack to finish cooling.

Tips:

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies spread in the oven.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them firm up.
