These buttery treats are just as fun to make as they are to eat! The caramel topping stays soft, and pecans add great nut flavor. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans, divided |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon shortening |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in 1/3 cup pecans.
2. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into acorn shapes, pinching bottoms to form a point. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip the top of each cookie in chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately sprinkle remaining pecans over chocolate. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
