Pecan Pie Cookies

Yield: 16 Cookies

Ingredients

• 16 tablespoons (227g) salted butter, at cool room temperature
• 1 cup (113g) confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups (240g) Unbleached All-Purpose Flour Filling
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup pecans chopped (small pieces)

Instructions

Dough

1. In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla together. Add flour and beat until a stiff dough forms. Add up to 1 tablespoon (1 tsp at a time) of water to bring the dough together if necessary.
2. Roll the dough into a ball and press it with your thumb. Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until the center looks dry and not doughy. If the center puffs up while baking, press it back down with the back of a teaspoon.

Filling

1. In a small bowl, mix everything together and fold in the pecans.
2. Fill the dough and bake again for 4-6 minutes until the edges are golden and the filling is bubbling.
