Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 large eggs room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Chocolate Glaze

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°
In the bowl of your mixer, or in a large bowl, beat the butter, oil, and both sugars until creamy. Beat in eggs until well blended, one at a time. Add in vanilla. Mix until incorporated.
In a medium size bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Whisk until blended. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and mix until combined.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
Drop cookie dough by small teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets. Bake at 375° until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Meanwhile in a double boiler over hot, but not boiling water combine chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, then add vanilla.
Dunk one half of each cooled cookie into the prepared melted chocolate glaze. Place each chocolate covered cookie on a sheet of wax paper. Sprinkle chocolate with chopped pecans. Allow to cool until set.
Store in air tight container.
