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.
