Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate, large bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the whole egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and well combined. (Prep time: 7 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and toasted pecan pieces. (Prep time: 8 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up. (Chill time: 30 minutes - 2 hours)

05

Step

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Scoop rounded tablespoons of the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and continue baking for another 8 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. (Bake time: 15 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool time: 20 minutes)

09

Step

While the cookies are cooling, place the unwrapped caramels in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramels are melted and smooth (typically 30 seconds to 1 minute total). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

10

Step

Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the cooled cookies. Allow the caramel to set before serving. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using salted caramel candies. A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle enhances the sweetness beautifully.
To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let them cool completely before chopping and adding to the dough.
If your dough becomes too soft to handle, simply chill it for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
