Equipment

  • 1 Mixer
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Large Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups caramel baking bits
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 large egg, room temp

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and the large egg, continuing to mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  • Gently fold in the chopped pecans and caramel baking bits, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may appear slightly undercooked but will firm up as they cool.
  • Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
