These Pecan Pie Cookies are like eating mini pecan pies! Pie crust dough is rolled and cut into circles and placed on cookie sheets. Pecan pie filling is cooked on the stove top. The pecan pie filling is dropped on top of the pie crust dough circles, then baked in the oven. After these cookies are cooled, melted chocolate is drizzled on top.
Place the pie crust circles on the parchment before you put the filling in the circle, it gets messy trying to move after the filling is on top. My yield is 12 cookies with a little extra pie crust. Also I cooked them for 12 minutes; I started at 8 minutes then kept adding two minutes until I saw slight browning on the crusts. The recipe also easily doubles. If doubling, cook the cookies for 6 minutes then switch racks and cook 6 minutes more.
