Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 (3.4 oz) package chocolate pudding mix
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 cup caramel bits

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
Mix in vanilla extract and pudding mix until well combined.
Gradually add sifted flour and baking soda to the wet mixture, stirring until just blended.
Fold in chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and caramel bits until evenly distributed.
Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
