How to Make Acorn Magic Delights

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Melt 1/2 cup (113g) of butter or margarine over low heat.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter, 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar, 3/4 cup (50g) chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well blended.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
7. Place the dough balls onto ungreased cookie sheets, slightly flattening each ball.
8. Pinch the top of each ball to create a pointed acorn shape.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire racks.
11. While the cookies cool, melt 6 ounces (170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth.
12. Dip the larger, flat end of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate.
13. Immediately roll the chocolate-dipped end in the remaining 3/4 cup (50g) chopped pecans.
14. Place the finished cookies back onto the wire racks to allow the chocolate to set completely.
