Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 36 pecan halves
  • 10 individually wrapped caramels, coarsely chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking pans with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats); set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on medium speed for 1 minute. Beat in egg and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture and beat to combine.

Use a 1 1/4-inch ice-cream scoop to form a ball of dough. Place a pecan in the dough, pressing lightly to secure. Place the dough pecan side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and pecans.

Using the back of a teaspoon or your thumb, create an indentation in the top of each cookie and fill with 1/4 teaspoon of chopped caramel. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool completely.

                I always chuckle to myself when we are given the time to store any
                of the recipes...get real, many cookie jars have contents for more
                than a couple of days.....OR they don't last for a whole day!!!  :We
                only eat one or two cookies at a time....can't ruin diet!!
