Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 & 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped, plus extra for topping
- 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1/3 cup cold caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- a pinch of cream of tartar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, then add the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Scoop out 7 equal-sized balls of cookie dough. Roll the sides in finely chopped pecans. Place on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each to about 1 inch thick.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Spread 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of cold caramel sauce over each cookie. Drizzle melted chocolate on top and garnish with extra chopped pecans. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Cook until sugar dissolves and caramel turns a golden amber color. Remove from heat and stir in butter and heavy cream until smooth. Cool and refrigerate until thickened.
Notes
- Use homemade or store-bought caramel sauce for convenience.
