Yvonne says
Your recipe does not mention PECANS, but in the instructions you mention to stir in the bits and the pecans! I am totally confused, please tell me if I should use pecans and how much do I use?
Leigh Anne says
Yvonne, Sorry about that – I forgot to omit the pecans from the directions. I didn’t use them but if you like pecans add in about 1/2 – 1 cup depending on how nutty you like your cookies.
Diana Melnyk says
Those caramel bits must only be available in the USA. I have never seen them in Canada. What brand are they or who manufactures them?
Kristy says
I haven’t seen them in the stores either, but found them on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008C9XAOE?keywords=caramel%20bits%20for%20baking&qid=1450156211&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
