Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder measured and leveled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon unrefined coconut oil optional

Instructions

  • Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl.
  • In a large bowl; stir combine butter, sugars, corn syrup, vanilla and milk until smooth.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then add the pecans and stir some more.
  • Cover and chill until firm enough to scoop, 3-4 hours. This dough can be made 1 day in advanced. Keep chilled.
  • Preheat the oven to 325° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a table spoon scoop out dough and form into round balls, arrange on baking sheet leaving space. Press gently with fingers to flatten slightly.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 8-10 minutes. Remove cookies, still on the parchment paper, to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Once the cookies are cooled; melt the half a cup of chocolate chips with the teaspoon of coconut oil until smooth.
  • Use a fork to dip and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies. Let stand for about 30 minutes for the drizzle to set and serve!
