Let’s get started the recipe:
Preheat oven 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix butter, shortening, brown sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla thoroughly with an electric mixer.
Whisk flour and salt together in a separate bowl. Combine dry ingredients with butter mixture and mix until combined.
Beat egg white with fork. Scoop 2 teaspoon sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Dip dough balls into egg whites.
Transfer to chopped pecans and coat thoroughly.

Bake 10 – 12 minutes. Once you remove the tray of cookies from the oven, use the 1/2 tsp measuring spoon and indent each cookie again, pressing sides back together when needed, if cookies cracked. Fill each cookie with warm caramel. Let cool to set.
