Pecan Fudge Brownie Cookies

A real simple recipe for the chocolate lovers.

Cookies
1 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
3 Cups Powder Sugar
2 Eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons  Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Chopped Pecans ( reserve some decoration)

Frosting
1/2 cup of Chocolate Chips
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Powder Sugar if needed for sweetness

Instruction
-Preheat oven at 350 degrees
-Mix together eggs and vanilla, then add cocoa and powder sugar. Consistency will be a bit runny but still thick.
-Using spatula, mix in pecans.
-Grease a cookie sheet, or lined it with parchment paper.
-Drop a tablespoon of cookie dough forming it into an even circle. Make sure they are about 2 inches apart.
-Bake cookie for 8-10 minutes.
-Allow cookies to completely cool before making frosting.
-For frosting melt chocolate and butter together. Once smooth, taste, if you like it more sweet add some powder sugar. Mixture might thicken up a little with the sugar, but it's ok.
-Frost cookies using a spoon and sprinkle with more pecan.
