These cookies were not intended to be acorn cookies. But, when my hedgehog cookies were an epic fail (is the word epic still trending?) I decided to shape the dough into autumn acorn cookies!
Why not? I got the original recipe from Taste of Home Kid Approved Cookbook:
I think they turned out great and perfect for autumn! Scroll down below for the recipe!
Autumn Acorn Cookies
Author: **Recipe adapted from Taste of Home Kid Approved Cookbook
Ingredients
- ACORN COOKIES:
- ⅓ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ⅔ cup flour
- ⅔ cup ground pecans
- dash of salt
- ½ cup bittersweet chocolate baking chips (I used semi-sweet)
- ¼ cup chocolate sprinkles.
Instructions
- Cream butter and powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Combine flour, pecans and salt, gradually add to creamed mixture. Shape 1 tablespoon of dough into a ball, pinch one end of ball to create bottom half of acorn. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes, remove and cool on wire rack. In a microwave, melt chocolate and stir until smooth. Spoon chocolate on the top, leaving the "bottom" uncovered. Immediately coat the melt chocolate with sprinkles.
