Recipe Introduction


"You can make the dough for these delicious cookies one day and form them, then freeze. In the next few days or weeks, you can bake them and top with the caramel and chocolate."


List of Ingredients




3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
25 caramels, unwrapped
3 Tbsp. heavy cream
3 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar


Recipe



In large bowl, combine 3/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp. cream, and 1 tsp. vanilla; beat until smooth. Add flour and stir to combine. Cover and chill dough for 1-2 hours.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Roll dough into 1" balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten to 1/4" thickness. Bake at 325 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until set and very light golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

In microwave safe bowl, place caramels, 3 Tbsp. cream, and 3 Tbsp. butter. Microwave on medium power for 3-4 minutes, stirring twice during cooking time, until melted and smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup powdered sugar and chopped pecans. Place a spoonful of this mixture on top of each cooled cookie.

In microwave safe bowl, place milk and semisweet chocolate chips along with 1 Tbsp. butter. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes, stirring once during cooking time, until melted and smooth. Stir in 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar until smooth. Spoon a small amount of chocolate mixture over caramel mixture.


YIELD: Makes about 36 cookies
