Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg (at room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 & 1/3 cups flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 5 tbsp butter (for filling)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 & 1/4 cups chopped pecans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- A pinch of nutmeg
- A pinch of salt (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
- Using a large cookie scooper, form 9 equally sized cookie balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball to about 1 inch in thickness.
- In a saucepan, melt the 5 tablespoons of butter for the filling. Stir in the brown sugar, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook until the mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened.
- Using a 1/4 measuring cup, press down the center of each cookie to create a small well, then fill each with the pecan pie mixture.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 8-9 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
