Method
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- 4Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
- 5Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indent in the center of each cookie.
- 6In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
- 7Spoon a small amount of the pecan filling into the center of each cookie.
- 8Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
