Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped caramel

1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven & Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.

  • Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

  • Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, caramel bits, and chopped pecans.

  • Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

  • Freezing: To store longer, freeze the baked cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

  • Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
