Preparation

Step 1

In small mixer bowl, beat sugar, butter, egg yolk, milk and vanilla until blended. Stir together flour, cocoa and salt; blend into butter mixture. Chill dough at least 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Beat egg white slightly. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Dip each ball into egg white; roll in pecans to coat. Place 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Press thumb gently in center of each ball.

Bake 10-12 mins. or until set. While cookies bake, prepare Caramel Filling. Press center of each cookie again with thumb to make indentation. Immediately spoon 1/2 tsp. caramel filling in center of each cookie. Carefully remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Caramel Filling:
In small saucepan, combine unwrapped caramels and whipping cream. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.

In small microwave-safe bowl combine chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave at High 1 minute or until softened; stir. Allow to stand several minutes to finish melting; stir until smooth. Place waxed paper under wire racks with cookies. Drizzle chocolate mixture over top of cookies.
