Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s get started with the baking process. Follow these detailed steps to craft your Crumbl Pecan Pie Cookies:

For the Cookie Base:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until you achieve a smooth dough.
5. Scoop out 9 cookie balls using a cookie scoop or your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Flatten each ball to about 1 inch thick. Use a ¼ measuring cup to press a divot in the center of each cookie, creating a well for the filling.
7. Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet.

For the Pecan Pie Filling:

1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Stir in brown sugar and chopped pecans until the mixture is combined and bubbling, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Whisk in cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla, and then remove from heat.
4. Spoon the pecan mixture into the divots of the cooled cookies.
5. Allow the cookies to cool for 20-30 minutes before enjoying them.
