Description

Ingredients

• 1 prepared single pie crust (homemade or purchased, I used Pillsbury)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup pecans, chopped
• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup corn syrup
• 2 eggs
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chip for decorating

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs. While constantly stirring, cook on the stove top over medium-low heat just until thickened. (You dont want it dry, just slightly thickened, about the consistency of pudding). Remove from heat and set aside.
• Unroll dough and using a 3 cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold about ⅛-1/4 up on the edges.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle.
• Place on a parchment lined pan (its important to line it) and bake 8 minutes or until filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
• Place chocolate chips in a small Ziploc bag (use brand name, the store brands tend to leak). Microwave about 15 seconds or until mostly melted. Snip off a tiny corner of the baggie and drizzle chocolate over the cookies. Cool until set.
