Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2¼ cups flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • ½ cup chopped pecans, optional
  • 48 chocolate-covered caramel candies, such as Rolo
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy Gradually add in the sugar and brown sugar until well mixed. Beat in the eggs.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Add the vanilla. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
  3. To make the cookies, line baking sheets with parchment. Preheat oven to 375F.
  4. Take one caramel candy and about 1 tablespoon of the dough. Wrap the dough around the caramel, covering it completely. Dip one side in the pecans, if using. Place on baking sheet, nut-side up. Space cookies about 2 inches apart.
