Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup salted caramel sauce
  • Flakey sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Add Chocolate Chips and Pecans: Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  • Form Cookies: Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Press a small well into the center of each cookie and fill with a teaspoon of salted caramel sauce. Cover the caramel with a bit of dough if desired.
  • Bake: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • The salted caramel can be made from scratch or purchased pre-made.
  • For a more decadent cookie, add extra caramel drizzle on top before serving.
  • Use good-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should be golden around the edges but soft in the middle.
