Ingredients:

1 prepared single pie crust

2 tablespoons butter, melted

½ cup pecans, chopped

⅓ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup corn syrup

2 eggs

⅛ teaspoon salt

optional

¼ cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chip for decorating

Directions:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. 2. In a large non-stick pan, combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs.
3. 3. Cook on the stove top over medium-low heat just until thickened. (You don't 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.
4. 4. Place on a parchment lined pan (it's important to line it) and bake 8 minutes or until filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
5. 5. 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.

Bon Appetit!
