How to Make Acorns Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¾ cup chopped pecans.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, slightly flattening each ball.
- Pinch the top of each ball to create an acorn shape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks completely.
- Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the larger end of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate.
- Immediately roll the chocolate-dipped end in ¼ cup chopped pecans.
- Place cookies on wax paper to allow chocolate to set completely before serving.
