Pecan Pie Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pecan Pie Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious pecan-filled cookies, grab a saucepan and melt a quarter cup of butter over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once melted, stir in the confectioners' sugar and corn syrup, mixing until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Step 3

   Bring this sweet mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to keep it smooth.

4. Step 4

   When it’s bubbling nicely, fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re well coated.

5. Step 5

   After everything is combined, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the filling chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

6. Step 6

   While the filling cools, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder, then set this aside for later use.

8. Step 8

   Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, three-quarters of a cup of softened butter, an egg, and a splash of vanilla extract.

9. Step 9

   Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat these ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, which should take about two minutes.

10. Step 10

    Gradually add the flour mixture to this creamy base, mixing until a soft dough forms.

11. Step 11

    Next, take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a small ball.

12. Step 12

    Press this ball into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased cupcake pan cup to create a lovely little crust.

13. Step 13

    Repeat this process with the remaining dough, filling each cup with your homemade cookie crust.

14. Step 14

    Once your crusts are ready, it’s time to fill them! Spoon about a teaspoon of the chilled pecan filling into each cookie crust, letting the sweet goodness nestle in.

15. Step 15

    Now, pop the cupcake pan into your preheated oven and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, keeping a close eye on them after the 10-minute mark to ensure they don’t over-bake.

16. Step 16

    You’re looking for a light golden brown color on the cookie shells.

17. Step 17

    Once they’re perfectly baked, allow the cookies to cool in the pan for a few minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

18. Step 18

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of tasting your homemade pecan cookies!.
