FAQ:

Can I use a different nut for the filling?
Yes, you can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor. Just be sure to chop them into small pieces.

Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cookie dough up to 2 days in advance. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.

Why is my filling too runny?
If your filling is too runny, it might need a bit more time to set while baking. Ensure the egg is fully incorporated and that the sugar mixture is well combined before adding the pecans.

Pecan Pie Cookies combine the best of both worlds: the chewy, buttery base of a cookie with the rich, nutty goodness of pecan pie. These sweet handheld treats will become a favorite for any occasion!
