Ingredients
1 prepared single pie crust (homemade or purchased)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup semi sweet or milk chocolate chip (opt)
Instructions
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 ⅛-1/4" 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.
