Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes; mix in almond extract and flour until dough comes together.
Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls; place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Using a teaspoon, make a small impression in the center of each ball.
Bake for 14-18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool completely before filling.
When cookies have cooled, fill each impression with caramel sauce; top with pecans.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips; drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each cookie. Or, melt the chocolate in a plastic bag in the microwave, massaging it between heating cycles to make sure it heats evenly.
24 servings.
