Ingredients

Unsalted pecan halves

¾ half/halves

Sugar

½ cup(s)

Salted butter

2 tbsp(s)

Apple butter

2 tbsp(s)

Egg whites

1 serving(s), large

Vanilla extract

1 tsp(s)

Unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup(s)

All-purpose flour

⅓ cup(s)

Baking powder

½ tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pecans on a cookie sheet; bake until nuts begin to brown and are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove; set aside.
  2. Combine sugar and butters in a medium bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until soft. Add egg white and vanilla; beat until combined, scraping mixture off sides of bowl as needed.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour and baking powder. Add to butter mixture; beat to combine.
  4. Drop dough by even teaspoonfuls, about 1 inch apart, onto 3 ungreased cookie sheets. Place 1 pecan half on top of each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes; remove from oven and allow to cool on pan for 5 minutes. Remove cookies with spatula to a rack to cool completely. Yields 2 cookies per serving.
