Ingredients
- 1 c. Butter, softened
- 3/4 c. Lightly packed light
- Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 13/4 c. All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking pwdr
- 12 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp. Vegetable shortening
- 25 x to 30 caramels, cut in
- Half, rolled into balls
- Finely minced pecans
Directions
- Preparation Time: 50 min
- Cooking Time: 15 min
- 1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheets ready.
- 2. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl till well-mixed. Stir in flour and baking pwdr. (If kitchen is hot, chill dough for a few min; dough should be hard sufficient to roll easily.) Shape scant teaspoonsful of dough into balls about the size of a marble. Place on baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Flatten slightly.
- 3. Bake till golden brown, about 15 min. Transfer to wire racks to cold.
- 4. Heat chocolate chips with shortening in top of double boiler set over simmering water. Remove from heat.
- 5. Flatten caramel halves so they are the same diameter as the cookie. Put one caramel half on top of each cookie. (If necessary, use a dab of chocolate as "glue" to help caramel adhere to cookie.)
- Using a small metal spatula, spread melted chocolate thinly over top and sides of caramel and cookie to cover. Press minced pecans onto tops of cookies. Let stand on a wire rack till chocolate firms
- (chill if you like), about 20 min. Put into individual paper wrappers. Store in a cookie tin with a piece of wax paper between each layer.
- is Elaine Rysner. She prefers to make the cookies small - about the diameter of a quarter. Use high-quality caramels and chocolate for the best cookies.
