Description
A delicious hybrid dessert that combines the crisp edge of a cookie with the rich, caramelized filling of a pecan pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup (115 g) softened butter
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and toast pecans for 8–10 minutes until fragrant.
- Cream together softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla.
- Fold in flour and salt to create a thick batter, then press half into a greased 9-inch pie pan.
- Sprinkle toasted pecans over the batter.
- Mix maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, and flour in a bowl and pour over the dough.
- Top with remaining dough in dollops or by pressing it for a patchwork top.
- Bake for 28–35 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is set but jiggles slightly.
- Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
Serve slightly warm with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup for a delightful contrast. For a festive touch, garnish with toasted pecans and powdered sugar.
