PECAN PIE COOKIES



Pecan Pie Cookies image

A gooey pecan pie brimming with buttery pecans is always a hit, but it's also quite a labor intensive dessert-what with the blending, chilling and rolling required to make pie crust. That's why pecan pie cookies are such a delicious alternative. You get all the reward, with none of the hassle! The quick sugar cookie crust gets rolled into balls and baked in muffin tins. An indent made with your thumb-these are basically, jumbo thumbprint cookies-gets filled with a mixture that's modeled after classic pecan pie filling. And the results? Let's just say that when you serve up these darling cookie pies, you shouldn't expect any leftovers!
