Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113g) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup (55g) Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg Yolk
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup (100g) Pecan Halves, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Light Corn Syrup
- 1/4 cup (55g) Brown Sugar, packed (for the filling)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) Unsalted Butter (for the filling)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) Heavy Cream (for the filling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the pecan filling. In a small saucepan, combine the light corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
- Scoop the chilled cookie dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball and create a small well in the center.
- Fill each well with the pecan filling.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
