Pecan Filled Cookies

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and prepare cookie sheets by greasing them.

2. 2

   Beat the butter and brown sugar together in a bowl until creamy. Mix in the egg, then the vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Press a small indent into the top of each ball using the handle of a wooden spoon. Combine the pecans, sour cream, and the smaller portion of brown sugar, then spoon the mixture into each indent.

3. 3

   Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until lightly browned. Allow the cookies to rest on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
