For a richer flavor, try using browned butter in the cookie dough. If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before shaping. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
7 mins
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, margarine, and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. (Time: 5-7 minutes)
03
Step
4 mins
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. Gently fold in the chopped pecans. (Time: 3-5 minutes)
04
Step
13 mins
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make a slight indentation in the center of each cookie. (Time: 10-15 minutes)
05
Step
11 mins
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Bake time: 10-12 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the chocolate icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. (Time: 2 minutes)
07
Step
3 mins
Gradually add the hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until you reach a smooth, drizzling consistency. (Time: 2-3 minutes)
08
Step
18 mins
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the chocolate icing into the center of each cookie using a spoon or the tip of a knife. Allow the icing to set completely before serving. (Time: 15-20 minutes)
