Yield: about 7 dozen cookies or 42 servings, 2 cookies each

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (4 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 (6 squares) package Baker's Bittersweet Baking Chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup Planters Chopped Pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Add flour and cornstarch; mix well.
  4. Stir in chocolate and pecans.
  5. Roll dough into 1 inch balls; place, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass.
  6. Bale 20 minutes or until cookies are set and lightly browned; cool on wire racks.
  7. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
