Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup, plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • ¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup caramel bits

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and cornstarch. Add to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Gently stir in the pecans, chocolate chips and caramel bits. To make the cookies pretty reserve a few of the pecans, caramel bits and chocolate chips to press into the dough balls.
  • Chill the dough for at least 3 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls, press in extra pecans, caramel bits, or chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set.
  • Take care not to over-bake the cookies. They should look slightly doughy when they are taken out of the oven. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
