Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C and line two cookie sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Pour the chopped pecans into a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
To mix the wet ingredients, in the bowl of a stand mixer with beaters attached or a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer with beaters, beat butter, sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla until light and fluff, about 5 minutes.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients, the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet until a dough forms.
Use a medium cookie scoop and scoop out the dough and mound in your hand and roll the dough into a ball.
Roll the sides of the cookie dough ball into the chopped pecans to coat the sides only, leaving the top of the dough bare, with no pecans.
Place the cookie dough ball onto the prepared cookie sheet and gently press down into a thick disk.
Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until firm around the edge.
Allow to cool completely.
Follow the directions on the back of the caramel bits to melt properly.
Spoon 1 Tablespoon of melted caramel onto the center of the cookies.
Allow the caramel to harden for 5 minutes.
Melt the Ghirardelli melting wafers and spoon 1 Tablespoon of melted chocolate onto the hardened caramel.
Sprinkle a few chopped pecans on top of the melted chocolate.
Ready to serve and enjoy.
