Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla; mix well.
Stir in flour and salt until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, creating indentations in each ball.
In another bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to make the filling.
Fill each cookie indentation generously with the pecan mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
