Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter slightly cold
  • 1 cup (250 g) pecan butter see recipe in post
  • 1 1/4 cup (275 g) light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon (13 g) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
  • 8 ounces caramel baking chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, pecan butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until well blended, about one minute. 
  • Add the egg and beat until just combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed until just combined. 
  • Stir in the caramel chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop (mine is about 2 tablespoons), drop cookie dough on lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  • Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until slightly golden brown around the bottom edge. Do not over bake. In fact, I like these underdone just a little. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes before eating.
  • Makes about 14 large cookies.
