Pocket Pecan Pie with Chocoloate Chips
Roll the dough and shape it into a 2 inches diameter thick round cylinder and wrap it in a aluminum foil or plastic wrapper. Put it in the freezer for 6-7 minutes to harden the surface for easy cutting in the next step. In this case I had defrosted my frozen dough in the day.
Cut the sugar dough into 1 inch thick disks. Press in 5-6 chocolate chips into each round cookie dough, then brush on some honey, then stick 3-4 pecans on top of the dough. Brush some honey on the pecans to finish.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the pecans become slightly darker (you can smell the cooked pecan in the air too). Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
