These Pecan Pie Cookies bring all the cozy flavors of a traditional Southern holiday pie into soft, chewy cookies—perfect from a pressure cooker or oven-baked twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Toast the chopped pecans in the oven for 5 minutes until fragrant, then set aside.
Cream butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla together until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the toasted pecans.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough on a lined baking sheet, flatten slightly, and sprinkle with Sugar in the Raw.
Bake at 375°F for 8–11 minutes until edges are just golden. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan.
Notes
You can swap half the pecans for chocolate chips for variety, or roll in brown sugar instead of raw sugar for a crunchier finish. Store in airtight containers at room temp or freeze for up to 3 months.
