Pecan Cookies

Ingredients:

For The Cookie Base:

1/2 Cup Margarine, Softened

1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar

1 Large Egg Yolk

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour

1/4 Tsp Salt

Pecan Topping:

1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed

1/4 Cup Light Corn Syrup

1 Tbsp Unsalted Margarine, Melted

1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Pinch Of Salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly but should hold together when pressed.

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each ball.

Spoon a small amount of the pecan filling ito each indentation, filling to the top.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. Enjoy!
