Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 stick unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips regular or mini size
½ cup chopped caramel squares use a knife to cut into small pieces
½ cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Cut the caramel squares into small pieces with a knife.

Combine the chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and caramel pieces in a bowl, mix. Reserve 1/2 cup for the outside of the cookie dough balls.

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.

In a mixing bowl cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add in the egg and vanilla, beat again. Add the flour mixture and the add ins (minus the 1/2 cup you’re reserving) to the wet mixture, mix with a spatula (or on low with a mixer) just until everything is combined

Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls. Press the 1/2 cup of add-ins on the outside of the dough balls. This is optional but I like the way the cookies look when you can see the chocolate chips, caramel puddles and pecans on top.

Place the cookies 3 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
