CARAMEL PECAN COOKIES

My sister sent me this recipe and I have no idea where she got it. It is a delicious variation on chocolate chip cookies and I usually double the recipe when I make these. I sometimes add semisweet chocolate chips but this was not in the original recipe.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the butter cream together with the sugars more easily, resulting in a smoother, more evenly textured cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will develop the gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you portion the dough evenly, resulting in more uniform cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will become dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Caramel pecan oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, sweet caramel flavor, and crunchy pecans, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is a great place to start.
