Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, or bowl from stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla extract until creamy.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together all purpose flour and baking powder.
Step 4
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined.
Step 5
Use a small cookie scoop to measure dough and shape into 1 and 1/4-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
Step 6
Use thumb, or bottom of measuring spoon to make indentation in each cookie.
Step 7
Combine pecans, brown sugar, whipping cream and vanilla extract in small mixing bowl. Stir just until combined.
Step 8
Fill each indentation in unbaked cookies with 1 heaping teaspoon of filling. It is okay to have the pecan sticking out of the top a little, but not too much of the liquid from the filling as it will expand and spread a little.
Step 9
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Step 10
Cool on baking sheets for one minute, then transfer to wire cooling racks.
