Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped (or pre-made soft caramel sauce)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (if using caramel candies)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth chocolate topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie base: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a soft dough.
  3. Shape the dough: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Gently press down slightly on each mound to form a thick cookie shape.
  4. Bake the cookies: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Prepare the caramel layer: If using caramel candies, place them in a saucepan with the heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the candies are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble the layers: Once the cookies are cool, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the warm caramel mixture onto the center of each cookie, spreading it slightly to cover the top surface. Let the caramel set for about 15 minutes.
  7. Melt the chocolate: Place the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  8. Top with chocolate: Drizzle or dip the tops of the caramel-covered cookies into the melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer shortbread base, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
  • If you prefer a thicker caramel layer, use a thicker, pre-made soft caramel sauce instead of melting candies.
  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
