For an extra nutty flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. If you don't have chocolate coating wafers, you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the chocolate chips before melting to help create a smooth, glossy coating. For a richer caramel flavor, consider making your own homemade caramel sauce. There are many great recipes available online. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
