    Chocolate chip cookie tarts on a platter

    Chocolate Chip Tarts are a bite size chocolate chip cookie with a bourbon flavored pecan chocolate filling.  Reward yourself for being awesome with this little treat.

    Natalie is always finding me recipes trying to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie, which we eventually did when we made these chocolate chip cookies with browned butter, they really are the BEST. 

    Along the way I thought I would try making chocolate chip tarts with a chocolate chip cookie base and a filling of mini chocolate chips, pecans and bourbon. It’s a combination of a chocolate chip cookie and a pecan tart.

    Bourbon added to the filling makes them even better. They’re a little more trouble than scooping out cookie dough but worth the extra steps. I think you’ll find these much more interesting than just a chocolate chip cookie, but still bite sized like a brownie bite.

    How do you make a chocolate chip cookie tart

    Basically you are making the dough for chocolate chip cookies, without the chocolate chips, and the filling for a pecan tart.

    Step 1: Cream the butter and sugars and add vanilla and an egg. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix to combine.

    Step 2: Place about 1 ½ teaspoons of dough into paper lined miniature muffin pans.Bake for 8 minutes.

    Step 3: While the cookie base is baking, make the filling. Beat brown sugar, an egg and salt together then added chopped pecans, bourbon and mini chocolate chips.

    Step 4: Remove the tarts from the oven and spoon the filling on top and place back in the oven for 5 minutes.

    If you’ve run out of paper liners, you can spray the muffin tin with cooking spray. They will come out pretty well but I prefer the paper liners.
