1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Add cookie dough to a large bowl and mix in just enough flour so that the dough is no longer sticky. (Start with 1-2 tablespoons and increase to the entire 1/2 cup only if needed.) Roll dough into 24 balls and divide between two parchment-lined baking sheets. Press down with your thumb to form an indent in the center of each cookie.
2

In a small bowl, stir together frosting, chopped pecans and brown sugar. Spoon into the center of cookies.
3

Bake first batch of 12 cookies for 8-14 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookies turn light golden brown, checking for doneness after 8 minutes. Immediately after removing from oven, press a pecan half into the center of each cookie. Repeat with second batch of 12 cookies. Allow to cool to room temperature.
4

In a small bowl, melt together chocolate chips and coconut oil. Drizzle over cookies. Allow chocolate to harden before serving.
