COOKIE CRUST PECAN PIE 1969

Cookie Crust Pecan Pie 1969 image

This 1969 Pillsbury Bake Off winner was in Mom's recipe drawer. I was attracted to it because it does not have that gooey sickening center that pecan pie usually has. I love pecan pie, but hate that icky center. This might make something much more palatable. It must have been really good to win the whole bake off contest!!

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 roll refrigerated cookie dough (butterscotch nut, peanut butter, or sugar cookie dough -- or anything you like, really)
1 pkg (4 oz) instant butterscotch pudding mix
1 1/2 c pecan halves
3/4 c molasses
2/3 c milk
1 whole egg

Steps:

1. Slice cookie dough into 1/4-inch slices and spread on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish.
2. Using fingers, press the dough over the bottom and 3/4 inch up the sides of the pan like a pie crust, leaving no holes.
3. In medium mixing bowl, combine pudding, pecans, molasses, milk and egg and mix well.
4. Pour mixture into crust
5. Bake 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until edges are deep golden and filling is set.
6. Cool, cut into squares, serve with a dollop of whipped cream if you desire.

Tips:

Use a food processor to make quick and easy pie crust: Simply combine the ingredients and pulse until the dough comes together.
If you don't have a food processor, you can make the pie crust by hand: Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Be sure to chill the pie crust before baking: This will help prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
Don't overfill the pie crust: Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges of the pie crust so that the filling doesn't spill over.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the pie crust is cooked through evenly.
Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
