Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and caramel bits.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped unsweetened chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
- You can substitute walnuts for pecans if preferred.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
