My husband and I enjoy these buttery cookies so much that we have a hard time not hiding them from guests! Ingredients:
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, softened, divided |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and vanilla; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Shape 1/4 cupfuls of dough into 1/2-in. thick logs. Cut logs into 2-1/2-in. pieces; place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt chocolate and remaining butter; stir until smooth. Dip one end of each cookie into chocolate, then dip into nuts; place on waxed paper until chocolate is set. Yield: about 5 dozen.
