Pecan Pie Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ½ cup pecans, chopped
• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup corn syrup
• 2 eggs
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 sheet ready-made pie dough or pastry

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a nonstick pan, combine the melted butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, salt and vanilla. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, just until the filling thickens slightly. Remove from the heat.
3. Roll out the pastry and cut into 2- to 3-inch circles. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and turn up the edges slightly.
4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pecan filling onto each circle, adjusting for its size. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the filling is set and the pastry is golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
