Time 1h25m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg (yolk only)
1/2 tsp. vanillla
1 c. plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. finely chopped pecans
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c. heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚. Spray 36 mini muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

  • Shape the dough into 3/4-inch balls; place each into a prepared mini muffin pan cup, pressing the dough onto bottom and up one-third of the sides of each cup, creating a shallow cup.
  • Combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl; spoon 1 teaspoon filling into each cookie.

Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
2-1/2 cups pecans, chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the chopped pecans and toast for about 10 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, make the crusts. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the flour and salt and beat until well combined. Take a few tablespoons of dough and press into and up the sides of each mini muffin cup.
  • To make the filling, in a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in the toasted pecans until well coated. Spoon about a tablespoon of filling into each crust, filling it about 3/4 full. Try not to overfill the crusts, as the filling will bubble over when they are baking. Don't worry...you'll be adding more filling after they bake!
  • Bake the bites for about 15 minutes or until the crusts just start to brown. Remove from the oven and let set for about 5 minutes before scooping another tablespoon of filling onto each bite. Let bites cool in pan completely before removing.

These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.

  • Bake the mini pecan pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the mini pecan pies cool for a few minutes before serving. They're best served warm.
