Sweet Caramel Cookie Treats on a Stick

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Warm your oven to 350°F and greasing a couple of baking sheets. In a bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until everything is smooth, then gradually mix in the flour until you have a soft dough. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 2

Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and space them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, just until the cookies are set. While they’re still warm, gently press a round toothpick into the center of each cookie, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3

Toss the pecans into a shallow bowl and lay out some waxed paper on your work surface. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the caramels and water until the caramels melt into a smooth sauce, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Hold each cookie by the toothpick and dip it into the caramel, turning to coat it well. Let any extra caramel drip back into the pan, then immediately roll the caramel-coated cookie in the pecans to cover the bottom and sides. Set the cookies on the waxed paper and let them cool until the caramel is firm. Repeat with the rest, and enjoy your sweet treats on a stick!
