Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sugar + sugar for rolling the dough in
  • 10 tbs (1 stick + 2tbs) butter, softened to room temp
  • 1 and 1/3 cup flour
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees; prepare baking sheet
  • In a bowl, beat sugar and butter until well incorporated
  • Add flour and continue beating until well mixed; dough will be crumbly
  • Knead dough with your fingers into 1 inch balls, roll them in sugar, then shape them into disks. Press your finger into the middle of the dough to make a well, almost to the bottom of the cookie
  • Place cookies on prepared baking sheet (I like these parchment paper sheets), about 1 to 2 inches apart
  • Bake for 8 minutes, remove from oven
  • Re-press wells if needed; drop 1/4 tsp of pecan pie filling in each cookie, do not overfill (See filling recipe above)
  • Return to oven and bake for an additional 4 to 6 minutes; total bake time 12-14 minutes
  • Cookies are done when they have a dry appearance, cookies will not brown
  • Cool cookies for 5 minutes on baking sheet, move to cookie rack to finish cooling; serve
  • Makes about 30 cookies
