How to Make Chocolate Dipped Pecan Logs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch thick logs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the logs cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate according to package directions.
- Dip the cooled logs into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the dipped logs back on the wire rack to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, store the logs in an airtight container at room temperature.
