Ingredients

  • 16.5 ounce roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • ½ cup caramel sundae topping
  • 3 Tablespoons caramel sundae topping
  • 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher sea salt
  • 1 cup halved pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 8×8 baking pan with non stick spray.
  • Take 1/2 cup of the cookie dough and set aside in refrigerator. Press the remaining cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the crust is lightly golden brown.
  • Prepare the caramel filling while the cookie dough is baking.
  • Combine the 1/2 cup caramel topping and the flour in a small bowl. Mix until combined. Once the crust is done baking, spread the caramel topping over the top. Stop right before the edge.
  • Sprinkle ½ of the pecans on top of caramel filling. Then take the ½ cup dough that was set aside and break it up then sprinkle it all over the top of the pecan caramel filling. Next sprinkle the remaining crushed pecans all over the top.
  • Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the top is light golden brown.
  • Cool for at least an hour. Once cooled drizzle the remaining three tablespoons of caramel topping over the top then sprinkle with the sea salt.
  • Cut into bars and serve!
