Time 30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
16 vanilla caramels
3 tablespoons whipping cream
1 1/4 cups pecans, finely chopped
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon shortening

Steps:

  • Separate egg; set egg yolk aside. Cover and chill egg white until needed. Stir together flour, cocoa powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar; beat until combined. Beat in egg yolk, milk, and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture. Cover and chill about 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F In small saucepan, cook and stir caramels and whipping cream over low heat until mixture is smooth. Set aside.
  • Slightly beat reserved egg white. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in egg white, then in pecans to coat. Place balls 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Using your thumb, make indention in center of each cookie.
  • Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are firm. Spoon melted caramel mixture into indentation. (If necessary, reheat caramel mixture to keep it spoon able.) Transfer cookies to wire rack; cool.
  • In another small saucepan, combine chocolate chips and shortening. Cook and stir over low heat until melted. Cool slightly. Drizzle cookies with chocolate mixture. Let stand until chocolate is set.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and caramel, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The caramel filling was not too sweet, and the chocolate cookie was the perfect complement.

These chocolate caramel thumbprints were a hit with my family! The combination of chocolate and caramel was perfect, and the cookies were so soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again.
