Pecan Pie Cookies

I made these for Thanksgiving but am just getting around to posting the recipe lol.

Pecan pie is awesome to begin with, but turn it into little cookies and its even better! I say that eating just one cookie is better than having a whole slice of pie, but once you have one of these...you will probably end up eating the equivalent of a piece of pie ;)
