Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and place the racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Have 2 parchment lined baking sheets.
In a bowl, cream the sugars and butter, either by hand or with a hand-held mixer, until smooth and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
Add in the egg, yolk and vanilla extract.
Add in the flour, salt and baking soda and mix until incorporated. Fold in the pecans and chocolate chunks.
Scoop out 1/4 cup of the dough and roll into a ball (or if you have a large ice cream scoop, use that).
Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, 4 per sheet, and using your hands, press down to flatten.
Bake until the edges are slightly golden and the middles are set but still soft, 15 to 18 minutes.
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes. Then flip them over and coat the bottom of half of the cookies with fudge sauce. Then coat the other cookie bottoms with the caramel sauce.
Place a generous scoop of ice cream on each of the fudge-lined cookies and top with a caramel-lined cookie, lightly pressing together. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream.
Roll in chocolate sprinkles. Eat immediately or freeze for later.
Cook's Note: If you freeze the cookies to eat later, just be aware that the cookies get hard. I always like to build 'em fresh if possible so the cookies stay nice and soft.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Ice Cream can be paired with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Solera Cream Sherry. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
