PECAN PIE COOKIES
A gooey pecan pie brimming with buttery pecans is always a hit, but it's also quite a labor intensive dessert-what with the blending, chilling and rolling required to make pie crust. That's why pecan pie cookies are such a delicious alternative. You get all the reward, with none of the hassle! The quick sugar cookie crust gets rolled into balls and baked in muffin tins. An indent made with your thumb-these are basically, jumbo thumbprint cookies-gets filled with a mixture that's modeled after classic pecan pie filling. And the results? Let's just say that when you serve up these darling cookie pies, you shouldn't expect any leftovers!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 24 regular-size muffin cups with shortening; lightly flour.
- In large bowl, mix Cookie Base ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. Using rounded tablespoonfuls of dough, shape dough into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch balls; place in muffin cups. With thumb, make indentation in center of each. Bake 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix Pecan Pie Filling ingredients until well blended.
- With end of wooden spoon, reshape indentations in center of each cookie to create 1 1/2-inch opening in partially baked cookie cups. Clean off end of wooden spoon with paper towel as needed. Stir filling to redistribute nuts; spoon 1 tablespoon filling into each cookie cup, stirring before filling each.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 10 minutes in pan on cooling rack. Run knife around edge of each cookie cup to loosen. Cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes. Remove cookie cups from muffin cups.
