Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 large egg , divided
- 3 tablespoons milk whole
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans , chopped
- 3/4 cup caramels
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- To your stand mixer add the butter and sugar on high speed and cream until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, then add in the egg yolk, milk and vanilla to the stand mixer until fully combined.
- In a small bowl sift together the flour, and cocoa powder then add it to the stand mixer with the salt and mix it in on low speed until just combined.
- Wrap the dough in saran wrap and cool in the fridge for a minimum of two hours (preferably longer) then when you're ready to bake pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the egg white until frothy, about 2 minutes.
- Roll the cookie dough in tablespoon sized balls and dip into the egg whites before rolling in the chopped pecans and placing on the cookie sheets.
- Using the back of a 1/2 teaspoon measure make a 1/2 sphere indentation into the dough.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, remove from the oven and press the measuring spoon back into the same spot immediately to form the circle perfectly again before it hardens and cools.
- Add the caramels to a microwave safe bowl with a tablespoon of water and microwave for 30 seconds until fully mixed and add 1/2 teaspoon to each cookie and let them fully cool.
- Add the chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 second increments then when fully melted add to a small ziplock bag or piping bag and snip the end off to pipe a zigzag pattern over the cookies and let it cool completely before eating.
