ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves, roughly chopped

steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- 4.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- 5.
Fold in the caramel candies and pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- 6.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.
- 7.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers will be soft but will firm up as they cool.
- 8.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
