Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 12 pieces Caramel candies (unwrapped)
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.
Slice the Pillsbury sugar cookie dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then press them into the bottoms and slightly up the sides of the prepared muffin cups to form a cup shape.
In a small bowl, mix chopped pecans, melted butter, brown sugar, and flour until combined. Set aside for topping.
Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the heavy cream and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the caramel is smooth and melted.
Stir the vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt into the melted caramel mixture.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the caramel mixture into each cookie cup. Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the top of the caramel in each cup.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the cookie cups are golden brown and the pecan topping is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the Pecan Blondie Caramel Cups to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy this gooey, nutty treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
