Start by grabbing all of your ingredients and a parchment lined baking tray.
In an electric mixer on medium speed combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and sifted cocoa powder. Gradually add this to your wet mixture until thoroughly combined. Fold in your chopped pecans.
On a lightly floured, clean surface, roll your dough in to a log shape to size of your desired cookies and as symmetrical as possible. Wrap this in cling wrap and stick in the fridge for 3 hours.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grab your dough from the fridge and unwrap it. Slice 1.5" slabs of cookie dough and place them on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let these cool completely before dipping or drizzling with white chocolate.
