- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Caramel Topping
- 20 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tbsp milk

Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°.
- Cream butter and sugar: Cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add egg and vanilla: Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Add flour and baking powder: Add the flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
- Roll dough and cut circles: Roll the dough out until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Transfer to an ungreased pan.
- Bake cookies: Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes. Pull out of the oven when the cookies are puffy and no longer glossy.
- Cool cookies: Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare caramel: While the cookies are cooling, microwave the caramels and milk for 1 minute. Stir at the 30 second mark. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Apply caramel: Carefully spoon a few teaspoons of caramel onto each cookie, spreading until it almost covers the cookie.
- Chill cookies: Place the cookies and caramel into the fridge for 10 -15 minutes or until completely cold.
- Melt chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips for 30 second intervals until completely melted and incorporated.
- Apply chocolate and set: Spread a small amount of chocolate onto each cookie. Let the chocolate layer cool and set up before serving.
Notes
- Pull cookies out of the oven when they are puffy and no longer glossy for best texture.
- Stir caramels at the 30 second mark while microwaving to ensure smooth, creamy caramel.
- Chilling the cookies with caramel before applying chocolate helps the layers set properly.
- Melt chocolate in short intervals to prevent burning.
