Servings: persons

1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
½ tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled slightly
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups salted and toasted pecans, lightly crushed
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
Fudge sauce, store-bought, microwaved for 10 to 20 seconds
Caramel sauce, store-bought, microwaved for 10 to 20 seconds
1 quart butter pecan ice cream
Chocolate sprinkles, for garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and place the racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions.
2
Have 2 parchment lined baking sheets.
3
In a bowl, cream the sugars and butter, either by hand or with a hand-held mixer, until smooth and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
4
Add in the egg, yolk and vanilla extract.
5
Mix until incorporated.
6
Add in the flour, salt and baking soda and mix until incorporated.
7
Fold in the pecans and chocolate chunks.
8
Scoop out 1/4 cup of the dough and roll into a ball (or if you have a large ice cream scoop, use that).
9
Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, 4 per sheet, and using your hands, press down to flatten.
10
Bake until the edges are slightly golden and the middles are set but still soft, 15 to 18 minutes.
11
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes.
12
Then flip them over and coat the bottom of half of the cookies with fudge sauce.
13
Then coat the other cookie bottoms with the caramel sauce.
14
Place a generous scoop of ice cream on each of the fudge-lined cookies and top with a caramel-lined cookie, lightly pressing together.
15
Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
16
Roll in chocolate sprinkles.
17
Eat immediately or freeze for later.
18
Cook's Note: If you freeze the cookies to eat later, just be aware that the cookies get hard.
19
I always like to build 'em fresh if possible so the cookies stay nice and soft.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
