Ingredients
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar (or use white sugar)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (190g) flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips
- ½ cup (60g) chopped pecans
- 6–8 soft caramels, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking soda, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the Add-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and chopped caramel pieces.
- Shape the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set in the middle.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra caramel flavor, you can drizzle some melted caramel over the cooled cookies.
- If you don’t have soft caramels, you can substitute with caramel chips or caramel sauce (but be mindful of the texture).
- To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
