acorn and dipped in melted chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

Preheat oven to 375

In a large bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup chopped
pecans and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and
baking powder and mix well, using low speed.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Slightly flatten by pressing balls
onto ungreased cookie sheets; pinch tops to point to resemble acorns.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375

racks.

In top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate chips,
stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; keep double boiler over
water. Dip large ends of cooled cookies into melted chocolate, then
roll in chopped pecans. Cool to set chocolate.
