Chocolate Caramel Dream Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter, 1 cup sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans. , Shape dough by tablespoonfuls around each candy. In a small bowl, combine remaining pecans and sugar; dip each cookie halfway. , Place with nut side up on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° until top is slightly cracked, 7-10 minutes. Cool for 3 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Beat butter until creamy. Gradually beat in white sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, and cocoa. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine remaining 1/2 cup nuts with the 1 tablespoon sugar. Divide the dough into 4 parts. Work with one part at a time, leaving the remainder in the refrigerator until needed. Divide each part into 12 pieces. Quickly press each piece of dough around a chocolate covered caramel. Roll into a ball. Dip the tops into the sugar mixture. Place sugar side up, 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
• Bake for 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Seperate egg. Cover and chill egg white until needed.Set egg yolk aside.
• In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for approx 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat well. Beat in the egg yolk, milk and vanilla until combined.
• In a med bowl stir together flour, cocoa and salt. Add flour mix to butter mixture and beat until well mixed. Cover and chill approx 2 hours( *I didn't do this and it still worked out well).
• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheets. In a small saucepan combine caramels and whipping cream, heat and stir over low-medium heat until mixture is smooth .set aside.
• In a shallow dish beat the egg white. Place chopped pecans on another plate. Shape the dough into one inch balls and roll in egg white and then into pecans. Place on baking sheet approx 1 inch apart. Using your thumb make an indent in each cookie.
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes until edges are firm. Original recipe says 10 minutes but mine took 15. Remove from oven and spoon a bit of the caramel sauce into each cookie( reheat if necessary prior to spooning) Transfer to wire racks to cool.
• In a small saucepan melt the chocolate and the shortening together and then drizzle on top of each cookie.
• Makes approx 36 cookies. I made mine slightly bigger so it made less.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat on low until the dough is just combined. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and press it into a rectangle. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about an 8-inch square that is 1/4-inch-thick. Cut the dough into quarters, then cut each quarter into 8 sticks using a straight edge or sharp knife. (Each cookie will be about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.) Use a skewer to make 3 holes on the top of each cookie about 1 inch apart. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, rotating the pan from front to back halfway through, until golden, 25 to 28 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and canola oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each. With a butter knife or offset spatula, spread the chocolate on the bottom of each cookie and set them chocolate-side up on a rack. Refrigerate until hardened, about 20 minutes. Turn the cookies over.
• Combine the caramels and heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, about 2 minutes. Let cool until the mixture registers 100 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, then transfer to a piping bag. Cut the tip of the bag and pipe a strip of caramel on the uncoated top of each cookie. (If the caramel strips look messy, use your hand to mold and straighten the lines -- at this point, the caramel will be very malleable.) Return the cookies to the rack caramel-side up and refrigerate until hardened, about 20 minutes.
• Spoon the chocolate over each cookie or dip the caramel side so that it is completely covered with chocolate. After the cookies are completely coated, drizzle the chocolate with a spoon back and forth crosswise over each. Return to the wire rack until cooled and the chocolate hardens, about 2 hours. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla.

Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate overnight.
