Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 20 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg white and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually add flour and baking powder, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll dough to 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick. Cut circles with a cookie cutter and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until puffy and no longer glossy. Let cookies cool on a wire rack.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and milk. Microwave 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until smooth.
- Spoon caramel onto each cookie, spreading to nearly cover. Chill cookies for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth, then spread over caramel layer.
- Allow chocolate to set before serving.
Notes
- For a twist, sprinkle sea salt on the caramel for a salted caramel effect.
- Dark chocolate chips can replace milk chocolate for a richer taste.
- Pre-made caramel sauce can be used if preferred; just ensure it’s thick enough to hold its shape on the cookie.
