Caramel Pecan Cookies


These are hands-down the best cookies I have ever made!  They are chewy from the caramel and nutty from the pecans.  This recipe makes about 3 dozen and I don't think they will last thru the week if you make these....  Give them a try...they are so easy to make.  The hardest part will be finding the Caramel Bits.

Caramel Pecan Cookies

1 cup oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp. hazelnut flavoring (or vanilla)
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Mix dry ingredients first:  brown sugar, white sugar, flour, soda and salt.
Add in oil, flavoring and eggs.  Stir well to combine. 

Above is my basic cookie mix.  It can be used for chocolate chip, M&M cookies, etc.  But to make these Caramel Pecan cookies, add 1 cup Caramel Bits and 1/2 cup pecan pieces

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 8 to 12 minutes until they just start turning golden brown.  I use a stone to bake on because they get done more evenly.  Remove from oven, and remove to a cooling rack. 

Good luck keeping your fingers off of these cookies!  Enjoy...
