Description
Deliciously chewy cookies combining chocolate, caramel, and crunchy pecans with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans, then swirl in the caramel sauce.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
