Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- First, make your caramel so that it can set while you make your cookies.
- To do this, add your butter and brown sugar to a sauce pan.
- Bring to a soft bowl, take off heat, and add your coconut cream very slowly so as to not burn yourself.
- Stir until coconut cream is evenly distributed and add your vanilla and salt.
- Let set at room temp until your cookies have cooked and cooled.
- To make the cookies, just beat together your butter and sugar until creamy. Add the flour and vanilla and beat into thick cookie dough.
- Add 2 tbsp size circles to a parchment lined baking sheet, press an indent in with your thumb in the center, and bake at 350 Degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes (do not overbake!)
- Let cool completely then fill each indent with caramel, a pecan, and a melted chocolate drizzle.
