Ingredients

  • 1/4 CUP BUTTER
  • 1/2 CUP CONFECTIONERS’ SUGAR
  • 3 TABLESPOONS LIGHT CORN SYRUP
  • 3/4 CUP FINELY CHOPPED PECANS
  • 2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
  • 1 CUP BROWN SUGAR, PACKED
  • 3/4 CUP BUTTER, SOFTENED
  • 1 EGG
  • 1 TEASPOON VANILLA EXTRACT

Instructions

  • MELT 1/4 CUP OF BUTTER IN A SAUCEPAN, AND STIR IN THE CONFECTIONERS’ SUGAR AND CORN SYRUP UNTIL THE SUGAR IS DISSOLVED. BRING TO A BOIL OVER MEDIUM HEAT, STIRRING OFTEN, AND STIR IN THE PECANS UNTIL WELL COMBINED. REFRIGERATE THE MIXTURE FOR 30 MINUTES TO CHILL.
  • PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F (175 DEGREES C). SIFT THE FLOUR AND BAKING POWDER TOGETHER IN A BOWL, AND SET ASIDE.
  • BEAT BROWN SUGAR, 3/4 CUP BUTTER, EGG, AND VANILLA EXTRACT IN A LARGE BOWL WITH AN ELECTRIC MIXER ON MEDIUM SPEED UNTIL THE MIXTURE IS CREAMY, ABOUT 2 MINUTES. GRADUALLY BEAT IN THE FLOUR MIXTURE UNTIL WELL MIXED. PINCH OFF ABOUT 1 TABLESPOON OF DOUGH, AND ROLL IT INTO A BALL. PRESS THE DOUGH INTO THE BOTTOM OF AN UNGREASED CUPCAKE PAN CUP, AND USE YOUR THUMB TO PRESS THE DOUGH INTO A SMALL PIECRUST SHAPE, WITH 1/4-INCH WALLS UP THE SIDES OF THE CUPCAKE CUP. REPEAT WITH THE REST OF THE DOUGH. FILL EACH LITTLE CRUST WITH ABOUT 1 TEASPOON OF THE PREPARED PECAN FILLING.
  • BAKE IN THE PREHEATED OVEN UNTIL THE COOKIE SHELLS ARE LIGHTLY BROWNED, 10 TO 13 MINUTES. WATCH CLOSELY AFTER 10 MINUTES. LET THE COOKIES COOL IN THE CUPCAKE PANS FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING TO WIRE RACK TO FINISH COOLING.
