Triple Chocolate Pecan Bites (from Rabbi Jerry Kane of Las Cruces, N.M. as found online)


Okay..So they are not low-fat, but they are delicious!

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

1 tsp cinnamon (for tossing)
1 tsp chili powder (for tossing)

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until combined. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla.

Sift next 6 ingredients together. Gradually add dry sifted ingredients to butter mixture, beating until just blended.

In a separate bowl, combine white and semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans. Toss chips and pecans with 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp chili powder. Carefully stir tossed chips and nut mixture into dough until just combined.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop dough by rounded tbsp onto sheets, spacing 1 1/2 inches apart.

Bake 9-11 minutes. Remove and enjoy!
