Acorns (butter pecan cookies)
From: Wendy....Ohio
This is an easy yet elegant butter-pecan cookie shaped to resemble an acorn and dipped in melted chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Yield: 3 dozen
1 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped fine, divided in 3/4 cup portions
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375o. In a large bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup chopped pecans and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking powder and mix well, using low speed. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Slightly flatten by pressing balls onto ungreased cookie sheets; pinch tops to point to resemble acorns. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375o. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks. In top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; keep double boiler over water. Dip large ends of cooled cookies into melted chocolate, then roll in chopped pecans. Cool to set chocolate.
