Mmmhhh....caramel! You can't say that you're surprised that it's shown up again so soon. Ha!
We made these cookies for Christmas (yeah yeah...I'm working on the whole procrastinating thing), and they were a huge hit. Definitely a bit more work than your average cookie...but well worth it when you want something extra special.
These cookies have so many wonderful textures going on...from the crunch of the nuts, chewiness of the chocolate cookie, and finally the smooth creaminess of the caramel!
