How to Make Fudge Hooves

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (chocolate preferred, or use recipe #133861 if unavailable), 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 cup dark chocolate chips. Stir constantly over medium heat until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Press a pecan half into the top of each cookie to resemble a reindeer hoof.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft. (Cooking time may vary depending on your oven).
  8. Remove cookies from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
