Ingredients:

1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate morsels
1 stick plus 1 T butter, room temp, divided.
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 T light corn syrup
1 t vanilla extract
3 T cocoa powder
1 cup flour
1/2 t baking soda
pinch of salt
3/4 pecans, chopped fine

Preheat oven to 375.

In a glass bowl, combine 1 T of the butter with the semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave on full power for 30 seconds. Stir and do it again until the chocolate and butter melt together. Stir until smooth.

Meanwhile, in the bowl of an upright mixer, combine the sugars and remaining butter and mix with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and corn syrup. Mix. Add the melted chocolate mixture and combine thoroughly. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder together and add to the mixer in 2 batches to combine thoroughly. Finally, stir in the chopped pecans.

Using 2 teaspoons, or a small (1T) scoop, make 1" balls of dough and drop onto an ungreased baking stone or cookie sheet.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes until the top begins to crack and the cookies have formed a crust. Don't overbake.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the stone and cooling on a rack.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

I would have taken a picture, but they got eaten too fast!
