Pecan Pie Cookies #ChristmasCookies

Disclosure:  I received sponsor products to use in the creation of these recipes.  I did not receive any monetary compensation.  All opinions are my own. 

These delicious, tender cookies are like popping a tiny pecan pie into your mouth.  They are sure to be a hit on your Holiday Cookie Tray this year.

Today is the final day of Christmas Cookie Week.......

Welcome to #ChristmasCookies week where more than 25 bloggers are sharing cookie recipes perfect for your holiday celebrations. Hosted by Ellen from Family Around the Table, Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures and Heather from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks, we invite you to not only check out the recipes but enter the amazing giveaway found at the bottom of this post.

Don’t miss one delicious cookie recipe! Follow along on Pinterest.


I was excited to receive product from Millican Pecan Company, one of our sponsors for this event.  I have used their products in the past and knew that it is of the finest quality.  I received pecan halves, pecan pieces and pecan meal.  For this recipe I used the pecan pieces and then gave them a whirr in the food processor to chop them more finely.  

I used the pecan meal, with which I was unfamiliar prior to receiving it in this recipe for Pecan Crusted Pork Chops.  They turned out marvelous.

Millican's has also joined with the other sponsors to provide our readers with some marvelous prizes.  You will find a list of prizes and the raffle to enter to win at the bottom of this post.


I knew I wanted to share this recipe with you because it is such a great foil for these wonderful pecans.  Then, when I went to make them, I could only find one of my mini muffin pans.  How does a pan just completely disappear from your cupboard?


So these took me twice as long to make but they are worth it. We snacked on a few and then I put the rest into a tin to go into the freezer.  They are perfect for Christmas but I'm pulling them out and serving them on Thanksgiving instead of baking a pecan pie to go along with the pumpkin pie this year.

I shared some Peppermint Patty Cookies with you on Monday and some delicious little Almond Shortbread Bites on Wednesday.  Some of the others posted each and every day.  You can find their cookies by following #ChristmasCookies on social media.

Pecan Pie Cookies

Pecan Pie Cookies

These delicious, tender cookies are like popping a tiny pecan pie into your mouth. They are sure to be a hit on your Holiday Cookie Tray this year.
Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 12 MinTotal time: 32 Min

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter, divided, room temperature
  • 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 3 T. corn syrup
  • 3/4 c. finely chopped pecans
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 t. vanilla

Instructions

  1. In a small skillet, melt 1/4 cup of the butter.  Stir in the powdered sugar and syrup until sugar melts.  Add the pecans and bring to a boil. Cook stirring until well combined.  Turn onto a piece of parchment or aluminum foil and set aside to cool.
  2. In large bowl of stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the remaining 3/4 cup of butter with the brown sugar.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy.  Combine the flour and baking powder and gradually add to the butter mixture on low speed until combined.  Increase speed and beat until well blended.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop place some dough into each well of an ungreased miniature muffin pan.  Press with your fingers to mold it  covering the bottom and sides of the well.  Add a little of the pecan mixture into the depression in the dough.  It doesn't have to cover the bottom completely.  It will melt and fill out the depression as it bakes. 
  4. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, until cookie is lightly browned.  Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
