1 Tbsp whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
(continued in the next column ↗️)
Pecan Filling:
1 cup finely chopped raw pecans
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped raw pecans
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions
Shortbread Cookies:
Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add flour and salt and beat until a dough starts to form.
Add milk and vanilla and continue to beat until dough comes together.
Using a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp), scoop out dough and roll into balls.
Arrange between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2" apart.
Press a thumbprint into the center of each ball.
Bake cookies, rotating sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden around the edges and edges are set, 12 to 15 minutes.
Using a tablespoon, press indention into cookies again to deepen the center.
Pecan Filling:
In a medium pot over medium heat, cook pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter, stirring often, until melted and a caramel-like consistency forms, about 5 minutes.
Slowly add cream and cook, stirring often, until mixture just starts to simmer, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Spoon pecan mixture into center of each cookie.
Let sit until cooled, about 15 minutes.

The contrast between the crisp, tender cookie base and sticky pecan filling creates a delightful textural experience. Perfect for holiday gatherings, cookie exchanges, or whenever you crave the flavors of pecan pie without the fuss of making a whole pie! - Claude
