Ingredients
Method
In bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in egg yolks and vanilla.Whisk together flour, pecans and baking powder; add to butter mixture, stirring to form stiff dough.
Using hands, roll dough by 1 tbsp into small logs with tapered ends, bending ends to form crescents. Place, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined or greased baking sheets.
Bake on top and bottom racks of 350F (180C) oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until bottoms are light golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool.
Meanwhile, in heatproof bowl over sauce- pan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate; let cool slightly. Set racks of cookies over waxed paper. Using fork, drizzle chocolate over cookies; let cool. (Make- ahead: Layer between waxed paper in air- tight container and store for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.)
