  • 8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • ¾ cups Flour

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolates and butter and microwave in 1-minute increments until melted, stirring in between heating increments. Stir until melted and combined and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.

In a large bowl and with an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes. Add melted chocolate mixture and mix to combine. Add dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup caramel bits, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans and mix.

Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Drop 1/4 cup balls of dough onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets (6 per sheet). Bake 6 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips, caramel bits and pecans onto cookies and press lightly. Return to oven and bake another 7 minutes.

When I make the dough, I bake half and freeze half in cookie dough ball form. Honestly, we enjoy these more served straight out of the freezer as cookie dough balls instead of actually baking the cookies. I know it’s not safe to eat raw eggs, yada yada yada, but we’re risk takers around here.
