Delightful cookies with a surprise chocolate center, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the flour and chopped pecans to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the dough, which can make the cookies tough.
Take a tablespoon of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a piece of chocolate in the center. Wrap the dough around the chocolate, forming a ball.
Chill the dough slightly if it becomes too sticky to handle.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly, and bake for 10-12 minutes until set but not browned.
Watch the cookies closely to prevent overbaking, as they should remain pale.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a cooling rack before rolling them in powdered sugar.
Coating the cookies while they are cool ensures the powdered sugar adheres evenly.
Serve the cookies on a platter and enjoy the delightful surprise inside each one.
Arrange the cookies attractively on a plate for a festive presentation.
