Pecan Pie Crust Cookies with Ice Cream

1 refrigerated pie crust dough (1/2 package)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
8 scoops premium vanilla ice cream
Honey, to taste
Dark chocolate syrup, to taste
Whipped cream, optional topping
Fresh berries or fruit for garnish, optional

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll pie crust out on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle pecans over crust and using a rolling pin, roll them into the crust. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over crust. Cut crust into 8 triangles and place each piece on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until cookies are golden brown, about 12 to 14 minutes.

Meanwhile scoop the ice cream into 8 serving bowls. Bowls of ice cream may be placed in freezer to keep firm. When cookies are done, place a cookie in each bowl, drizzle with honey and chocolate and top with whipped cream and fruit garnish, if desired.

Pecan Pie Crust Cookies with Ice Cream

Each pie dough makes 8 “cookies” and they will store nicely in a cookie tin or jar for several days. Not surprisingly, they are delicious on their own with or without the honey or chocolate drizzle.

Well, this sure looks great! Can't wait to try it! I'm thinking of using your Hot Fudge Sauce with the ice cream. (Can you tell I haven't had a "real" dessert in months?)

I just made these to take to a Yom Kippur Break the Fast celebration tonight (but I can't taste them yet because I'm fasting!). I will not be using ice cream or sauces so instead I brushed them with a honey glaze. I boiled 3/4 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup honey and 1/2 cup water for 5 minutes then brushed the glaze over the cooled cookies. They look delicious and like something just a little different.

I made them last night for a potluck music party and I used honey and our Old-Fashioned Fudge Sauce from Desperation Entertaining. Just fantastic. Oh, and I made them about 3 hours ahead and they held just fine and were good at room temp!
