I love this recipe! The cookies do indeed taste exactly like a pecan pie-without all the work/time. I ran out of the filling and made 4 "plain" cookies and even they were amazing on their own! I also used 1/2 & 1/2 cream as I didn't have whipping cream in the house & they still turned out amazing. I guess I was making the well to deep because when I'd go to remove them from the sheet the center wanted to stay behind. I let them sit for about 5 minutes to let the sugar set. They came off fine that way & if a few didn't come off perfect, you can "re-position" them with your fingers on the drying rack and as they cool down they turn out perfect. SOOOO YUMMY! Thanks for posting.

These are a lovely cookie; flavor and texture is outstanding. Everyone wants the recipe! I have made these as cookies and also pressed the dough into my mini-muffin pan and filled them to make pecan tassies. The only change was to use half & half rather than cream, and I cannot imagine they could have been any better. Thanks for this great recipe!!

YUM! I made these cookies last night to take to work today. They are delish! Can't wait to see what the co-workers think. I substituted whole milk for the heavy cream because I didn't have any on hand. I will try the heavy cream next time to see if it's worth the added expense. The cookie batter is a very nice base cookie on its own and I'm sure I will use that in the future for other cookies as well. All around a wonderful cookie that was easy and quick to make. Thanks for sharing.

The most unique recipe I've tried in a while - definitely taste like little mini pecan pies!!!! I just used skim milk in place of the whipping cream & still found the filling nice & rich. I will definitely be making these for every special occasion!

What a good cookie recipe, I am a fan of pecan pie but don't like to make them. These little cookies hit the spot. I did run out of filling at the very end of the dough, but I think I might have added a bit more to the cookie well. Very yummy, and will be a surprise for when my family gets home later tonight. Thanks for sharing.

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
