📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, and salt; set aside.

3
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ⏱️ 2 hours. After ⏱️ 2 hours, remove dough. (Let sit for a few minutes if its too hard to work with.)
4
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line baking sheets with nonslip mats or parchment; set aside.
5
Mix together the mini chocolate chips and pecan pieces in a small bowl. Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in chocolate chips/pecans, pressing them firmly into the dough. Place 10 balls per baking sheet (it makes a total of 30 cookies) about 2 inches apart.
6
Using a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon, make a slight indentation in the center of each dough ball.
7
Bake for ⏱️ 10 minutes then let cool on the pan for ⏱️ 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Once cookies are transferred to rack, gently re-press the indentations.
8
While cookies are cooling, prepare the caramel filling by microwaving caramels and cream together in a small bowl until smooth, stirring every ⏱️ 30 seconds until melted, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes.
9
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of the caramel.
10
To make the Chocolate Drizzle, microwave chocolate in a small bowl on 50% power, stirring every ⏱️ 30 seconds until melted. Stir in shortening. Transfer chocolate to a Ziploc bag, snip off a small corner and drizzle over cookies.
