Cinnamon-Pecan Cookies

Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Add corn syrup and egg. Mix well.

Place 1 cup cinnamon chips in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50%) for 1 minute, then stir. As necessary, microwave in 15 second additional increments, stirring after each heating, just until chips are melted after being stirred. Stir melted chips into butter mixture.

Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to cinnamon mixture. Beat just until blended. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in ground pecans. Lightly press nuts into the dough balls. Place on un-greased baking sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden around edges. Cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely and enjoy with your favorite warm cocoa.
