| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). |
| 2 | In a large bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup chopped pecans, and vanilla extract on medium speed until well blended. |
| 3 | Add flour and baking powder to the bowl and mix well, using low speed, until a dough forms. |
| 4 | Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. |
| 5 | Slightly flatten each ball by pressing them onto ungreased cookie sheets; pinch the tops to create a pointed shape resembling acorns. |
| 6 | Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. |
| 7 | Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on wire racks. |
| 8 | Meanwhile, in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. |
| 9 | Remove the melted chocolate from heat, but keep the double boiler over the water to keep the chocolate warm. |
| 10 | Dip the large ends of the cooled cookies into the melted chocolate, then roll them in the remaining chopped pecans. |
| 11 | Allow the cookies to cool until the chocolate sets. |
