1991 1st place: caramel pecan treasures Recipe
1 c  butter, softened
    3/4 c  Lightly packed light
           Brown sugar
      1 ts vanilla
  1 3/4 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts baking powder
     12 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
      1 tb Vegetable shortening
           25 to 30 caramels, cut in
           Half, rolled into balls
           Finely chopped pecans
 

  
     1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Have ungreased baking sheets ready.
  
     2. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl until
    well-mixed. Stir in flour and baking powder. (If kitchen is warm,
    refrigerate dough for a few minutes; dough should be firm enough to
    roll easily.) Shape scant teaspoonsful of dough into balls about the
    size of a marble. Place on baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches
    between cookies. Flatten slightly.
  
     3. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to
    cool.
  
     4. Melt chocolate chips with shortening in top of double boiler set
    over simmering water. Remove from heat.
  
     5. Flatten caramel halves so they are the same diameter as the
    cookie. Put one caramel half on top of each cookie. (If necessary,
    use a dab of chocolate as "glue" to help caramel adhere to cookie.)
    Using a small metal spatula, spread melted chocolate thinly over top
    and sides of caramel and cookie to cover. Press chopped pecans onto
    tops of cookies. Let stand on a wire rack until chocolate firms
    (refrigerate if desired), about 20 minutes. Put into individual paper
    wrappers. Store in a cookie tin with a piece of wax paper between
    each layer.
  
     The first-place winner of the Tribune's 1991 Holiday Cookie Contest
    is Elaine Rysner. She prefers to make the cookies small - about the
    diameter of a quarter. Use high-quality caramels and chocolate for
    the best cookies. from the Chicago Tribune fourth annual Food Guide
    Holiday Cookie Contest December 5, 1991
