Minnesota Sour-Cream Chocolate Drops

Sour-Cream Chocolate Drops:
(Grandpa's Favorite :))
1 ¼ c. Flour
½ tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. Baking soda
½ tsp. Ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. Salt
½ c. ( 1 stick ) butter
3 (1-oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate
¾ c. granulated sugar
½ c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
½ c. sour cream
¾ c. chopped pecans
Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt to combine thoroughly; set aside.
Preheat over to 350 degrees. In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan, combine butter and chocolate. Place over low heat until both are melted, stirring occasionally.
Remove chocolate mixture from heat; stir in sugars. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream, mixing until smooth after each addition. Stir in pecans.
Drop by tablespoons, about 1 ½ inches apart, onto lightly greased or nonstick baking sheets. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles, if desired. Bake until cookies feel firm when touched lightly (12 to 14 minutes ). Cool on wire racks.
