Chocolate Chip Pecan Pies
Let the holiday baking season begin! I have been waiting for a long time to find the perfect recipe for my ravioli cutter! YES, I said ravioli cutter and baking. I started using my ravioli cutters to make cookies back when I was in graduate school (then it was sugar cookie dough and nutella), and it’s still one of my favorite ways to make cookies. This time around, I incorporated Diamond of California chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips!
Roll out your pie crust on parchment paper (or a floured baking surface). Get your ravioli cutter ready (round, square, heart – there are lots of fun shapes).
Next, use a mini melon ball scoop (tablespoon, mini cookie scoop, etc) to drop balls of the dough about 2 inches apart (depending on the size of your ravioli cutter). Be sure to only drop them on half of the dough. I cut the dough in half with a knife so I knew where to place the dough.
Carefully place the empty half of your pie crust on top of the half with the balls of dough. Use your ravioli cutter over the balls of dough to cut out the mini pies.
Place your cut-out mini pies on your baking sheet (lined with parchment paper). Aren’t they cute? Don’t worry if any have broken tops. It will be fine. You then top them with beaten egg and sugar (see full recipe below).
There they are! So cute! And SO DELISH! Want to see the inside? Yep… you do…
So delicious, ya’ll! My husband was in love with these because they’re almost “poppable” (you could get a smaller ravioli cutter too). They’re like a “pie cookie”. Delish!

Yummmmm!! And cute too!
Thanks Sharon!! :)
It’s look delicious
How many cookies does the recipe yield?
This depends a bit on the size of your ravioli cutter but for me, it was about 8. If you use a frozen pie crust, there are 2 in the box so you could use them both and yield 16.
My filling is runny!! What did I do wrong? It is oozing out of the crust when I baked it.
