Oh, boy, do I have cookies for you! Not just any cookies. THE cookies!

I discovered these caramel pecan chocolate chips cookies on Food Network years ago and they have since become a staple treat at home. I just can’t get enough of their crisp, buttery edges and gooey caramel filling!

Pecan Chocolate Cookies with caramel filling are crisp, buttery and totally irresistible. Perfect for gift-giving or just anytime you need a sweet treat.

These caramel pecan chocolate chips cookies are a must on your Christmas baking list. Generously studded with pecans and chocolate chips and deliciously filled with soft caramel centers, they’re definitely a step up from the everyday chocolate chip cookies.

Make sure to bake up a batch to give out as holiday gifts for family and friends or to keep handy for times you need a sweet bite. Enjoy a piece (or two) with a cup (or two) of hot chocolate for the ultimate cold-weather comfort food!
