Pecan Sticky Bun Cookies

December 20, 2018

Pecan Sticky Bun CookiesI’m bringing you the last cookie of the holiday season, and while it’s a sad occasion that it’s come to an end, what a delicious journey it has been this year! I’ve taken you everywhere from a savory option, all the way to these decadent Pecan Sticky Bun Cookies! I figured I might as well go as big as I could for the final showdown. If you’re a big fan of pecan sticky buns (such as I am), but don’t want to deal with the hassle of making a yeasted dough and then having to wait overnight for the rolls to rise and then baking them and inverting them and praying they come out of the pan, then the easier solution is to just turn that classic recipe into a bite-sized cookie.

These aren’t sweet at all. You won’t find sugar in the ingredient list because that would be weird, and I’m not some kind of animal. The dough is a savory shortbread, flavored with parmesan, salt and pepper and they’re filled with a [store-bought] garlic and herb cream cheese, and topped with my favorite everything bagel seasoning blend. They were inspired by these doughnuts I made a while back, and I believe they’re going to steal the show at everyone’s cookie exchange this year. Believe in me. I won’t steer you wrong.
