Description
These decadent cookies are a sweet blend of semi-sweet chocolate chips, crunchy pecans, and a touch of salted caramel, creating the perfect balance of sweet and salty in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 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
- Sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- 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, chopped pecans, and caramel sauce, ensuring an even distribution.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Before baking, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to avoid breaking.
- For extra caramel flavor, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the baked cookies.
