How to Make Orange Pecan Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons orange extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 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 until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10-12 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt 6 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops of the cookies into the melted chocolate.
- Place the dipped cookies back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet and let the chocolate set completely before serving.
