Take note
Before we begin, please be cautious when working with hot caramel. It can cause burns if not handled properly. Also, be mindful of any allergies you or your guests may have to any of the ingredients used in this recipe.

1

Gather the ingredients

Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients for your Cavern Caramel Crunch cookies. You will need: 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of crushed caramel candies, and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans.

2

Mix the dry ingredients

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good mix to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. This will be the base for our delicious cookies.

3

Cream the butter and sugars

In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer if you have one, or a good old-fashioned whisk if you're looking to build some muscles.

4

Add the vanilla extract

Once the butter and sugars are creamed to perfection, add the vanilla extract. This will enhance the flavor of our cookies and give them that extra touch.

5

Incorporate the dry ingredients

Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until just combined. We want to avoid over-mixing, as this can result in a tougher texture.

6

Fold in the caramel and pecans

Now it's time to fold in the crushed caramel candies and chopped pecans. This will add the 'Cavern Caramel Crunch' to our cookies. Gently fold until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7

Chill the dough

To prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking, it's important to chill the dough. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if you have the patience.

8

Preheat the oven

While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that it's nice and hot when it's time to bake our cookies to perfection.

9

Shape and bake the cookies

Once the dough is chilled, take it out of the refrigerator. Shape it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

10

Let them cool (if you can resist)

Once the cookies are out of the oven, resist the temptation to immediately dive in and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will allow them to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
