Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Salted Caramel Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies are not your average chocolate chip cookie! They’re made with sweet and salty coarse sea salt and caramel sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon together.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time into the mixture and beat until combined.
- Gradually beat in flour mixture. Then, mix in the caramel sauce.
- Fold in the chocolate morsels and chopped pecans until fully incorporated into the cookie dough.
- Drop the cookie dough onto greased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
