Caramel Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
Description
These cookies are another recipe from Mom, I found a similar one here (hers was a magazine version), and while a tiny bit tedious with the peeling and cutting of the caramels, they are cookies, with caramels in them! Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 c. (227 g) butter, softened
3/4 c. (150 g) brown sugar, packed AND 1/2 c. (100 g) sugar
1 egg AND 1 t. vanilla
2 1/2 c. (313 g) flour
1 t. baking soda AND 1/2 t. salt
25 individual caramels, quartered (I used Kraft)
1 c.+ chocolate chips AND 3/4 c. pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment. Using your electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugars and then add in the egg and vanilla and beat again. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and then add it all into the first mixture and stir to combine well.
Add in the caramels, chocolate chips and pecans and stir until combined, then drop the dough in tablespoon sized spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies just start to brown, then allow them to cool for a good 10 minutes on the baking sheets before you move them to a rack to cool completely. Depending on where the caramels fall, some may spread, but nobody cares…you may even be able to re-shape them a titch while they’re still warm.
