Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
- 22 caramels, chopped
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone mats.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Stir in the chopped chocolate chunks, caramel pieces, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
-
Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown around the edges.
-
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This helps them firm up slightly.
-
Once cooled completely, store the cookies in airtight containers to maintain their freshness. They can be kept for up to 5 days, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
