Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
For the Pecan Filling
  • 5 tbsp butter (for filling)
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • a pinch nutmeg
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, blending until combined.
  4. Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until just mixed to avoid over-mixing.
  5. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out nine balls of dough onto the baking sheet, flattening each ball to about an inch thick.
  6. Create a well in the center of each cookie to hold the filling.
Baking
  1. Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes and let them cool on the sheet.
  2. In the meantime, prepare the pecan filling by melting the butter in a saucepan.
  3. Stir in the brown sugar, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbly.
  4. Carefully spoon the filling into the cookie wells and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Let the cookies cool before enjoying.
