Pecan-Praline Cookie Pizza

Directions

Beat the butter or margarine in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.

Add the ¾ cup brown sugar and beat until combined.

Beat in egg yolk and the 1 teaspoon vanilla until combined.

Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.

Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon.

Spread dough in a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan, slightly building up the edge.

Bake in a 350℉ (180℃) F oven for 20 minutes or until golden.

Meanwhile, stir together sour cream, the ¼ cup brown sugar, and the ½ teaspoon vanilla in a small mixing bowl.

Immediately spread over hot crust to within ½ inch of edge.

Arrange pecan halves around edge of crust.

Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.

Cool thoroughly in pan on a wire rack; topping will set as it cools.

Cut into wedges; serve when cooled.

Refrigerate leftovers.
