Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in 1 cup each of the chopped caramels, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of each for topping.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press a piece of the reserved soft caramel into the center of each cookie dough ball.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookie dough balls with the reserved chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center. The cookies should spread nicely while baking.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes.
For the Chocolate Drizzle:
- Melt the 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth.
- Place the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag, then snip a small corner off the bag. Gently squeeze the bag to drizzle the chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- Allow the chocolate drizzle to set at room temperature, or place the cookies in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the process.
