Instructions

1 Place the pecans in a small bowl and cover with water; set aside for 30
minutes.
2 Drain the pecans well and place them on a paper towel to air dry while you
assemble the cookie dough.
3 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large
bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine the butter and brown sugar and
beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add in the egg and beat until
combined. Add in the flour, cinnamon, pecans, and vanilla (if using) and beat
until combined. Your dough should be stiff.
4 Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of flour over a clean work surface. Scrape the cookie
dough onto the surface and gently knead it for 30 seconds. Divide the dough in
half, then roll each portion of cookie dough into a log that's roughly 2" in
diameter. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2
hours (or up to 5 days).
5 When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a large
baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
6 Remove the dough from the fridge and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp
knife, slice the logs of cookie dough into 1/4" rounds. Place the cookies 1/2"
apart on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until
lightly golden. Remove the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Cool for at
least 15 minutes before removing.
7 In the meantime, make the chocolate coating.
8 Melt the chopped chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the
microwave method, place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt
in the microwave, on low power, in 15 second increments, stirring after each
increment until completely melted and smooth.
9 Dip each cookie halfway into the chocolate then return to the lined baking
sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt or additional chopped pecans, if desired. Allow
the chocolate to set before serving. To speed this up, place the baking sheet
into the refrigerator. Once set, serve and enjoy! These are really good with
coffee or tea.
