Time 42m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon kentucky Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • For the Cookies: Mix margarine, sugars, and egg. Stir in flour and baking soda. Mix until crumbly.
  • For the Filling: Beat eggs with cooled butter. Add flour and sugar. Beat until mixed well. Stir in pecans, chocolate, and bourbon.
  • Making the Cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with a non-stick cooking spray. Place a thin layer of the cookie dough in the bottom of each individual muffin cup. Press the dough so it becomes a "Pie Crust". Add in the filling so that it comes up to fill about half of each individual muffin cup. Press the filling down lightly with a spoon so it settles in the pan. Place another thin layer of cookie dough on top of the filling so it becomes a lid. Bake approximately 12 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes. Loosen edges of cookies by working a knife around the inside of each individual muffin cup. Invert muffin pan onto cookie sheet to remove cookies. While still warm, press cookies down to flatten into a traditional cookie shape. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.
