Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

1 cup corn syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

          Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

            Fold in Pecans and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips, if using.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

                Prepare the Pecan Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the corn syrup and remaining chopped pecans.

                  Add Filling to Cookies: Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie with your thumb and fill it with a spoonful of the pecan filling mixture.

                    Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden around the edges.

                      Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                        Serve: Enjoy your delicious Pecan Pie Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
