DIPPED CHOCOLATE LOGS
When my sister and I were little, we used to beg my mother and grandmother to make these buttery chocolate cookies during the holidays. Now, as moms ourselves, we get together every year to make Christmas cookies, and the chocolate logs are always on the top of our list. —Deanna Markkos, Western Springs, Illinois

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED BROWN SUGAR SHORTBREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until the butter and sugar are combined so you don't whip a lot of air into it. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix just until the dough comes together.
- Scoop out 1-ounce pieces of dough (about a tablespoon), roll each one into a ball, then roll it into a 2 1/2-inch-long log. Place the logs 2 inches apart on two sheet pans lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the cookies start to brown around the edges and spring back when lightly touched. Set aside to cool on the pans.
- For the coating, place the chocolate and the butter in a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture vigorously and continue to microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate is just melted.
- Drag half of the rounded top of each cookie through the chocolate and place it, chocolate side up, on a piece of parchment paper. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle on the pecans. Repeat with all the cookies. Set aside for at least 30 minutes for the chocolate to firm.
CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PECAN SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Butter, sugar, toasted pecans and chocolate. What's not to like? This recipe creates DECADENT, melt-in-your-mouth pecan shortbread cookies. I fixed a batch last night. By this morning...they were gone.

Steps:
- 1. I suggest using a Kitchenaid (or other brand) stand mixer with a paddle attachment as this is a VERY stiff dough -- I don't suggest mixing it by hand ...either your hand will wear out or the wooden spoon will break.
- 2. Cream together sugar and butter--just until combined.
- 3. Add extracts and stir into butter/sugar mixture.
- 4. In separate bowl, whisk flour and salt together.
- 5. Add flour/salt mix to butter/sugar mix, a little at a time.
- 6. Add chopped pecans to dough and THOROUGHLY incorporate them. (I chopped them by hand).
- 7. Place reserved 1/2 cup of pecans in separate bowl.
- 8. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. By hand, roll each piece into a log (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Wrap each log, snugly, with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- 9. Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
- 10. Remove plastic wrap from dough log and slice into 3/8-inch - 1/2-inch thick slices.
- 11. Place sliced dough onto UNGREASED parchment-paper lined cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
- 12. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is cooked but NOT browned (see photo above).
- 13. After baking, gently transfer to cooling rack (they're VERY fragile at this stage), and cool completely. Once cooled, they are quite sturdy.
- 14. In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate morsels (in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment)
- 15. Spread reserved, chopped pecans (or, if desired, sliced almonds) onto cookie sheet and return to oven for 5-10 min. until toasted. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. Then, place them in a bowl.
- 16. Coat cooled cookies 1/2-way with melted chocolate (front, back, and sides)--scraping off excess.
- 17. Roll chocolate-dipped cookies in toasted pecan pieces. Alternately, you can use sliced almonds, or crushed toffee pieces (Heath or Skor bars)...or, leave them plain or just dipped in chocolate if you like. When coated, return cookies to cooling rack to set.
- 18. Chill chocolate-dipped cookies for 20-30 min. in fridge to set chocolate before serving.
- 19. Store in airtight container (if you have any left).
HOLIDAY PECAN LOGS
Meet the Cook: For 50 years, I've turned to this beloved recipe to make candy to give away at Christmas. Of the many types I've tried, these pecan logs continue to be the most popular. I'm a registered nurse who managed to juggle my profession with raising our five children. Besides cooking and baking, my interests include sewing and putting together family photo albums. -Maxine Ruhl, Fort Scott, Kansas
