2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Heavy Whipping Cream
48 pecan halves

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb. (Edges may crack slightly.) Bake 7-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely. Store cookies in a container with a tight-fitting lid for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

- To store drizzled cookies, place in container with tight-fitting lid. Store at room temperature 1-2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Place cookies on a cooling rack over a piece of waxed paper to catch any extra chocolate drizzle.
- If caramel filling gets too thick, reheat in microwave 10-15 seconds until it becomes spoonable again.
