How to Make Triple Chocolate Caramel Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 3/8- to 1/2-inch deep indentation in the center of each ball.
  10. Smooth out any cracks around the indentation.
  11. Fill each indentation about halfway with your favorite caramel topping (approximately 1 teaspoon per cookie).
  12. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and the edges of the cookies are set.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  14. Once completely cool, drizzle with your favorite candy coating.
