Homemade Pecan Carmel Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients: *Makes 12, (5 ounce cookies)
2 eggs
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
3 cups flour
12 ozs dark chocolate chips
6 ozs caramel morsels
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350F
Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on a low speed, and mix together flour, sugars, salt, baking soda, eggs, butter, until well combined and a dough has formed.
Using your hands fold in chocolate chips, Carmel and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Place parchment paper on to a cooking sheet, then use a weight scale for measuring each dough ball to 5 ounces each. Place them about 3 inches apart as they will need room to bake down/spread.
Bake for 15 mins, then pull out and gently flatten them out with a rubber spatula. Allow to cool for 3 mins on pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, or serve warm.
Enjoy Friends 😋

Homemade cookies bring warmth and nostalgia, and these Pecan Caramel Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies are no exception. With a perfect balance of rich dark chocolate and sweet caramel, these cookies are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. To make these cookies even more enjoyable, consider using high-quality dark chocolate chips which will melt beautifully, adding depth to each bite. Caramel morsels offer a gooey sweetness that complements the nuttiness of the pecans, enhancing the overall flavor profile. When preparing the dough, mixing the ingredients until they are just combined is crucial; over-mixing can lead to tough cookies. Achieving the right balance between softness and chewiness is key. Once baked to a golden brown, let the cookies cool on a wire rack to settle and maintain their chewy texture. Variations of this recipe are also fun to explore. Try adding sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty contrast, or incorporate other nuts, like walnuts or almonds, for added crunch. These cookies make for a wonderful gift too; package them in a decorative box to share with friends and family. Whether for a celebration or just a cozy night in, these cookies are the perfect treat!
