 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Chocolate, Nuts
      Yield: 10 servings

MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES-------------------------------
      5 tb Butter; softened
      1 c  Brown sugar; packed
      1 tb Light corn syrup
      3 oz Bittersweet chocolate;
           - melted
      1 lg Egg; room temperature
      1 ts Vanilla extract
  1 1/3 c  A-P flour
    3/4 ts Baking powder
      2 tb Baking cocoa
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Buttermilk
    1/2 c  Pecans; chopped

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Confectioners' sugar
    1/4 c  Baking cocoa
      1 tb Butter; softened
      3 tb Water; boiling

  Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

  Line two 15x10x1" baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,
  cream together butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup until fluffy and
  lighter in color, about 5 minutes. Beat in melted chocolate,
  vanilla extract, and egg until fully blended.

  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking
  powder. Gradually alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk to
  the wet ingredients; mix until the flour disappears and no dry
  clumps remain. Gently fold in pecans; cover and chill the dough for
  30 minutes.

  Spoon dough onto prepared baking sheets in 2-1/2 tb scoopfuls,
  leaving 2" between cookies. Bake 11 to 12 minutes or until the
  center of the cookies appear set and edges are firm. Remove
  promptly; let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to
  cool completely.

  Mix confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Add
  butter and 2 tb boiling water; whisk until smooth. If frosting is
  too thick, add an additional 1 tb boiling water; frosting should be
  the consistency of a thick glaze that's spreadable with a knife.

  Once cookies are cool, spread a generous layer of frosting onto
  each cookie. Serve.
