PECAN PIE COOKIES

Pecan Pie Cookies are an easy cookie recipe that tastes like pecan pie! This brown sugar cookie is filled with a pecan pie mixture and are perfect for your holiday cookie platters.

I first made these cookies back in the early 2000s and have been making them ever since. Pecan pie is one of my favorite flavors so making them into cookies is absolutely up my alley.

Once Thanksgiving passes, I feel like people forget about pecan pie, but I don’t. I know people are all pie’d out come December, but that’s why turning my favorite pie into a cookie is the perfect way to get that flavor into Christmas…and all year long.
