Peanut butter thumbprint cookies with gooey caramel centers that are drizzled with chocolate and topped with crunchy pecans. A delectable treat for the entire family!
Ingredients: 1 cup creamy peanut butter. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1/2 cup chopped pecans. 12 caramel candies, unwrapped.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until dough forms. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make a small thumbprint indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake for 10 minutes. While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Once cookies are out of the oven, gently redefine the thumbprint indentations. Place a caramel candy in each indentation. Drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the cookies. Allow the cookies to cool and the caramel to set before serving.
