Directions:
Cream Crisco and sugars together. Add milk. Beat in eggs one at a time; add vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix into creamed mixture. Chill one hour. Heat oven to 350*. Roll out 1/3 of dough at a time/ to 1/4" thickness on a floured surface. Cut out with 2 1/4" cookie cutter. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 5-6 minutes, until edges are slightly golden. Remove to cooling rack.
For topping: Combine caramels and milk in microwave safe bowl. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave at 50% for 1 minute. Stir, repeat until smooth (or melt on range top in small saucepan on very low heat). Drop rounded teaspoonfuls on top of each cookie. Place 3 pecan halves around edge of caramel. Place chocolate chips in microwave safe cup. Microwave at 50% FOR 1 minute. Stir. Repeat until smooth (or melt on range top in small saucepan on very low heat). Spread rounded teaspoonfuls over top of caramel. Don't cover pecans. Cool completely.
I made a smaller version of this cookie and only used the one pecan half on each cookie. I put the chocolate in a ziplock baggie and drizzled the chocolate over the pecan and caramel.
