Step-by-step

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large non-stick pan, combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs. 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 ¼-1/4" up on the edges.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle.
  • 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.
  • 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. Cool until set.
  • Pecan Pie Cookies are a delicious and easy holiday treat. They're perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges or holiday parties. The best part about these cookies is that they're made with a pre-made pie crust, so they're super simple to make.

    To make Pecan Pie Cookies, you'll need a few simple ingredients, including a pre-made pie crust, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, eggs, and chocolate chips. First, you'll need to preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, you'll need to combine the pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat until it's thickened. Once the mixture is thickened, remove it from the heat and set it aside. Next, you'll need to unroll the pie crust and cut out circles using a 3-inch cookie cutter. Gently fold the edges of the circles up about ¼-1/4". Finally, spoon the pecan mixture into the center of each circle and bake the cookies for 8 minutes, or until the filling is just set. Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Once the cookies are cool, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate chips.
