Crumbl Pecan Pie Cookies combine a soft, buttery sugar cookie base with a rich, gooey pecan pie filling, creating a perfect bite-sized dessert inspired by classic pecan pie.
The cookie dough is made by creaming together softened butter, oil, granulated and powdered sugars, then adding egg, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt. The dough is portioned into balls, flattened, and shaped with an indentation in the center to hold the filling.
The pecan pie filling is cooked by melting butter and brown sugar, stirring in chopped pecans, heavy cream, vanilla, and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, then spooned warm into the cookie wells before cooling to set.
These cookies bake at 350°F for about 8-9 minutes and are best served warm for that gooey, nutty indulgence.
