Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cookie Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
Filling Ingredients:
20 caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
48 pecan halves
Drizzle Ingredients:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

  • Combine butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate until firm (about an hour). Heat oven to 375F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart onto un-greased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumbs. (Edges may crack slightly.) Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely. Store cookies in a container with a tight-fitting lid for 2 to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. On serving day, combine caramels and whipping cream in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving 1 minute or until melted; stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon caramel mixture into center of each cookie. Top with pecan half. Place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving 30 seconds or until melted; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set (about 2 hours).
