Source of Recipe


Ann Dunbar



List of Ingredients



• 1 pound unsalted butter, slightly cool
  
• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
• 1 cup light brown sugar
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 2 Tbsp Kahlua or cold drip coffee
  
• ½ cup cocoa
  
• ½ tsp salt
  
• 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 cup roasted pecans
  
• 2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 300° F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
   In a large mixing bowl, cream cool butter with sugars, mixing until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and Kahlua. Add remaining ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Mix just until cocoa looks evenly blended.
   
   
2. With a teaspoon, portion dough onto lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. To test for doneness, lift a warm cookie off the pan. It should still be fragile, but not falling apart. The chocolate will solidify in 25 to 30 minutes as the cookies cool on the parchment paper.
   
   
3. To garnish cooled cookies, sift powdered sugar and cocoa powder lightly over cookies on serving platter.
   
   Makes about 4 dozen.
