Recently, I found a way to jam-pack all of that pecan pie flavor in something a little easier to make: pecan pie cookies! They’re just as delicious, and done in no time.

- 3 tbsp. light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg

Enjoy!
