Instructions
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat (or parchment paper).
Place all the Dry Ingredients into a bowl, whisk to combine.
Place all the Wet Ingredients into a bowl, mix to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stir well to combine (no electric mixer required although it does make it easier).
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place oven rack in the center position, avoiding the lower oven rack placement.
Take 2 TBSP (28 g) of cookie dough and roll it in your hands to form a ball, then place the ball onto the silicone mat (or parchment paper) lined cookie sheet.
Try to keep the cookie size uniform. Continue until you have rolled all the dough into balls and placed on the baking sheet (space them apart as they spread).
Then slightly flatten each ball into a round disk about 1/2 inch thick. Using the bottom of a glass with some parchment paper in between works well.
Place the baking sheet into oven and bake for 11 minutes. If doing more than one batch bake for 12 minutes and switch racks halfway through.
After baking, remove from the oven, allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet(s) undisturbed for 1 minute to firm up, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Allow to completely cool.
Make the Caramel Drizzle Topping (and Chocolate Drizzle Topping if using) and then drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Place the chopped pecans in a bowl and dip each cookie upside down to apply the pecans to the top of the cookie.
