Ingredients:
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. chopped pecans, toasted
CARAMEL DRIZZLE:
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. heavy whipping cream
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE:
1 oz. semisweet chocolate
1 Tbsp. butter

Directions:
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in pecans.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar and cream to a boil.  Remove from the heat; whisk in confectioners' sugar.  Immediately drizzle over cookies.

In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth.  Drizzle over cookies.  Let stand until set.  Store in an airtight container.
