~ Chocolate Covered Caramel Cookies ~
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups cocoa
1 t baking soda
2 t vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 T sugar
1--9 oz pkg chewy caramel candy, each piece cut in half
Preheat oven to 375F.
Beat butter at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add
sugars, mixing well. Add eggs, beating well. Combine
flour, cocoa, and soda. Add to butter mixture and mix
well. Stir in vanilla and 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans.
Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for one hour.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1 tablespoon sugar,
set aside. Gently press 1 tablespoon of cookie dough around
each caramel candy half, forming a ball. Dip one side of the
cookie ball into the chopped pecans. Place pecan side up
and 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8
minutes. They will look too soft, but will be ok. Let cool
1 minute on cookie sheet, then remove to wire racks to cool.
Makes 4 dozen cookies
