Caramel-Filled Chocolate Cookies - I admit it, during the holidays I tend to (over) indulge my cravings for sweets, The is especially true when mom cooks my all-time favorite, Caramel-Filled Chocolate Cookies, I have a hard time not eating the entire tray! I’ll share the recipe to this decadent delight, but be forewarned, you can’t stop with just one. ;-)

Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, 1 cup sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans.
2. Shape a tablespoonful of dough around each candy, forming a ball. In a small bowl, combine the remaining sugar and pecans; dip each cookie halfway. Place nut side up 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-10 minutes or until tops are slightly cracked.
4. Place on a cooling rack; and allow cookies to cool completely. The cooling rack is a must for decorating the desert with melted white chocolate.

Ingredients
