📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour and salt in a bowl. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until lightly combined, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly beat in flour mixture and 1 1/2 cups pecans until dough starts to come together.
2
Divide dough in two and wrap each in plastic wrap. Use the plastic to flatten dough into discs. Refrigerate until firm, at least ⏱️ 2 hours, or overnight.
3
On a lightly floured work surface roll dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies using a 3 1/2-inch acorn-shaped cookie cutter; re-rolling scraps. Bake, in batches, until golden brown, 12 to ⏱️ 13 minutes. Cool on baking sheet ⏱️ 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
4
Spread the top of the acorns with chocolate, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Let sit on wire rack until chocolate is set, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
