Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
2 large eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup chopped pecans, divided |
6 (2-ounce) packages chocolate-caramel cookie bars, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 (2-ounce) vanilla bark coating squares |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla, beating until blended after each addition.
2. Combine flour, cocoa, and soda; add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans. Shape 1 tablespoon dough around each candy piece, covering completely, to form balls.
3. Combine remaining 1/2 cup pecans and 1 tablespoon sugar. Gently press the top of each ball into pecan mixture. Place balls, pecan sides up, 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
4. Bake at 375° for 7 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets 2 minutes. Remove from baking sheets; cool completely on wire racks.
5. Melt coating squares in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle over cookies.
