Original Recipe Yield 4 dozen cookies
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound 1.5 ounce) pouch Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 (14 ounce) bags caramels, unwrapped
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray 48 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
  2. Make dough as directed on cookie pouch. Shape dough into 48 (1-inch) balls. Press 1 ball into bottom of each muffin cup, pressing up sides to fill cups.

  4. Remove pans from oven; gently press end of wooden spoon into bottoms and against sides of cookie cups to flatten, being careful not to make holes in dough.
  5. Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately spoon 1/2 teaspoon (about 4) chocolate chips into each cookie cup.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon caramel mixture into each cookie cup. Immediately top with chopped pecans. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans with narrow spatula.
