Preheat oven to 350°. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and coffee; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with ½ cup pecans.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Lightly punch down dough; shape dough into 2-inch balls. Working in batches, place dough balls in plastic bag. Shake until coated with sugar mixture. Arrange dough over butter mixture in skillet. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons pecans.
Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter or tray. Serve immediately.
