I love caramel, chocolate and pecans together. While I had recipes for cake, cheesecake and candy that feature this combination, I didn't have one for cookies. So I came up with this recipe.

  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 bottle(12-1/2 ounces) caramel ice cream topping
  • 4 to 6 ounces dark chocolate candy coating, melted

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 3/8- to 1/2-in.-deep indentation in the center of each ball. Smooth any cracks. Fill each indentation half full with caramel topping.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until caramel is very bubbly and cookies are set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks. Drizzle cooled cookies with candy coating. Yield: 6 dozen.

    Editor's Note: Confectionary coating is found in the baking section of most grocery stores. It is sometimes labeled "candy coating" and is often sold in bulk packages of 1 to 1-1/2 pounds.

It looks wonderful but the caramel seeped out of all my cookies and they didn't stick together. It's an expensive recipe for it not to work. I did do it exactly as instructed so just be careful. I did pinch the edges but it wasn't enough.
