- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans, divided
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 (9-ounce) package chewy caramels in milk chocolate
Method
- Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
- Combine flour, soda, and cocoa; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans. Cover and chill dough at least 2 hours. Combine remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Work with 1 portion at a time, storing remainder in refrigerator. Divide each portion into 12 pieces. Quickly press each piece of dough around a caramel; roll into a ball. Dip one side of ball in pecan mixture. Place balls, pecan side up, 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
