Servings cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons butter browned and cooled to room temp or slightly warm
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups caramel chips
- ½-¾ cups chopped pecans toasted (see note in recipe)
- sea salt
Instructions
- If you haven't browned your butter yet, start with that! Click Here and follow these instructions and then set it aside to cool.
- You will also need to toast your pecans. Simply place in a dry skillet on medium heat and stir often until toasted and browned.
- Heat oven to 325℉. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
- Either by hand or with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, milk and vanilla.
- *When measuring flour, lightly spoon flour into measuring cups and level with the back of a knife. If you scoop your flour, it will be too much.Add dry ingredients to dough. Stir in chips and nuts.
- Scoop cookies onto baking sheet. Bake until cookies are set around outer edges start to firm up yet centers are still soft and puffy, 10-13 minutes (dependent on size). Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt right when they come out of the oven (so it sticks!).Cool cookies on cookie sheets. Serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within 3-5 days for best results.
- For nice round cookies, use a biscuit cutter or canning ring in a circular motion to shape the cookies while still hot out of the oven.
