  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup

  2. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended.
  4. Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl, and gradually add to the creamed mixture until just combined.
  5. Stir in chopped pecans.
  6. Roll dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Make an indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb.
  8. Combine corn syrup and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until boiling.
