Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the Pecan Pie Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in the chopped pecans. Set aside.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup of chopped pecans and 1/2 cup of corn syrup into the cookie dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Top each cookie dough ball with about 1 tablespoon of the pecan pie filling.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality pecans. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cookie dough or pecan pie filling for extra warmth. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
