Pecan Pie Cookies

For a different take, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm, spicy aroma. If you prefer a different type of nut, walnuts or almonds can be substituted for pecans. For a touch of chocolate, consider drizzling melted dark or white chocolate over the cooled cookies. To make these cookies gluten-free, simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Finally, for those who prefer a less sweet option, reduce the amount of corn syrup in the filling and slightly increase the amount of pecans in the dough for a nuttier flavor.
