- ½ cup butter room temperature
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp light corn syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg white mixed
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Carmel
- ¾ Cup Werthers Caramels unwrapped
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt
Chocolate
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350℉—line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Cream together butter and sugars using a stand mixer until it becomes light and creamy.
Next, add in the eggs, vanilla, and light corn syrup. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
While the mixer is on low, slowly add salt, baking soda, cornstarch, and cocoa powder. Once everything is mixed well, slowly add in the flour.
Scoop the dough into your hand using a 2-inch cookie scoop. Roll the dough into a ball. Place the dough balls in the whisked egg white. Next, roll the dough in the chopped pecans. Place the pecan-coated balls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Using a teaspoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
Bake for 15-18 minutes.
Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and cool them completely.
Caramel
Microwave the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream on low for 30-second intervals. Stirring between each interval. Continue doing this until the caramel is melted.
Carefully scoop a teaspoon full of caramel into the indentation on each cookie.
Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream on low for 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is melted.
Using a small sandwich baggie, make a small cut in the corner. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies.
Let each cookie rest until the caramel fully sets. Serve and Enjoy!
