Creating Crumbl Pecan Pie Cookies is a straightforward process. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a successful baking experience:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

2. Make the Cookie Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate.
• Gradually mix in the flour, salt, and baking powder until the dough is smooth and well-combined.

3. Shape the Cookies:

• Use a cookie scoop to portion out 9 cookie balls.
• Place them on the prepared baking sheet, flattening each to about 1 inch thick.
• Press the center of each cookie with a measuring cup to create a well for the filling.

4. Bake:

• Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet as they continue to set.

5. Prepare the Filling:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Stir in the brown sugar and pecans until mixed and bubbling for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla; whisk to combine until smooth.

6. Assemble:

• Remove the saucepan from heat and spoon the pecan filling into the centers of the cookies.
• Let the cookies cool for 20-30 minutes before enjoying the delightful treat!
