Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 c Butter, melted 2 1/2 c All-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 c Brown sugar, firmly packed 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 1/2 c Pecans, chopped fine,* 1 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips

* divided in 3/4 cup portions

This is an easy yet elegant butter-pecan cookie shaped to resemble an
acorn and dipped in melted chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

Preheat oven to 375ø.

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 375ø. 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.
