– **1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar**
– **1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed**
– **2 large eggs**
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**
– **2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour**

– **1 cup (180g) chocolate chips** (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
– **1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce**

 **Instructions:**

5. **Gradually add the dry ingredients** to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. **Fold in the chopped pecans** and chocolate chips.

7. **Scoop the cookie dough** onto the prepared baking sheet, using about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread.

8. **Gently press a pecan half** into the top of each cookie.

9. **Bake** in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look a bit soft, but they will set as they cool.

10. **Remove from the oven** and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. **Once the cookies are cooled**, drizzle caramel sauce over the tops of the cookies.

12. **Melt the remaining chocolate chips** (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth.

13. **Drizzle the melted chocolate** over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.

These cookies combine the flavors of chocolate, pecans, and caramel, making for a rich and indulgent treat. Enjoy!
