Salted Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cookies

Salted Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cookies
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 44 caramel candies
  • 6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • coarse sea salt
  • 1 (6 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 to 4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Press dough together in plastic wrap; roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  3. Place beaten eggs in one small dish and pecans in another dish. Dip each dough ball into the eggs and roll in pecans. Place dredged balls on the prepared baking sheets; press your thumb into the center of each ball.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Press each cookie again, with a spoon. Return to the oven and continue baking until golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool on wire racks.
  5. Combine caramels and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth, 4 to 6 minutes. Spoon the mixture into the thumbprints of the cookies and sprinkle with sea salt.
  6. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in oil. Drizzle chocolate over the cookies.
