Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • filling:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • icing:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • pecan halves

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in milk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut into 2-in. x 1-in. strips. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
  3. Bake at 325° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  4. For filling, combine caramels and milk in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until caramels are melted and smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in the butter, sugar and pecans. Cool for 5 minutes. Spread 1 teaspoon over each cookie.
  5. For icing, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips and milk; stir until smooth. Stir in the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.
  6. Spread 1 teaspoon icing on each cookie; top each with a pecan half. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 4 dozen.
