Description
Delicious chocolate cookies filled with creamy caramel and topped with chocolate drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup salted butter (at cool room temperature)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 2 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate (melted)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (please see the note below about measuring flour)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white (lightly beaten)
- 1 ¼ cups very finely chopped pecans
- 16 caramels (like Kraft caramels, unwrapped)
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Beat butter together with granulated sugar and brown sugar together in a large bowl until well-combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
- Mix in egg until incorporated.
- Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix in just until combined.
- Scoop dough by level tablespoon and roll into a ball.
- Add the beaten egg white to a shallow dish and the chopped pecans to a separate shallow dish.
- Roll balls in egg white, then in nuts to coat.
- Place 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Press your thumb into the center of each ball.
- Bake for about 8-11 minutes or until the edges are set. If cookie centers puff up during baking, press again with the back of a small measuring spoon.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat and stir caramels and heavy cream over low until melted and smooth.
- Immediately fill cookie centers with melted caramel mixture. If necessary, reheat mixture to keep it soft and melted. Remove cookies; cool on wire racks.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil. Cool slightly.
- Transfer to a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in one corner of the bag.
- Drizzle a little of the chocolate over cookies.
- Let stand until chocolate is set.
Notes
- For best results, measure flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.
