Caramel Thumbprint Cookies are a classic shortbread cookie rolled in pecans, baked & filled with warm caramel. Buttery Christmas cookies that everyone loves seeing at holiday cookie exchanges!
Classic thumbprint cookies filled with jam are wonderful, but my family absolutely LOVES it when I make these Caramel Thumbprint Cookies instead! The crunchy pecans coating the outside of the cookie, paired with the buttery cookies and sweet caramel make these truly amazing.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN CARAMEL THUMBPRINT COOKIES?
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make my recipe for thumbprint cookies:
–butter and shortening: Butter gives cookies a great flavor but shortening provides a light, more delicate texture, so I absolutely love using a combination of both in cookies!
–brown sugar
–eggs
–vanilla extract
–all purpose flour
–salt
–pecans: You can use halves or chopped because you’ll actually need to chop them more fine than the chopped pecans come when you buy them from a store anyways! You can see my favorite tool for chopping nuts here.
–caramel: You’ll want a caramel that sets somewhat firm. I like to use homemade caramel or melted caramel bits.
