Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (111g) salted butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 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

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: Cream together the butter and sugar.
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add flour and baking powder: Add the flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake cookies: Bake at 350° for 6-8 minutes. Pull out of the oven when the cookies are puffy and no longer glossy.
  7. Cool cookies: Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
  8. 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.
  9. Apply caramel: Carefully spoon a few teaspoons of caramel onto each cookie, spreading until it almost covers the cookie.
  10. Chill cookies: Place the cookies and caramel into the fridge for 10 -15 minutes or until completely cold.
  11. Melt chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips for 30 second intervals until completely melted and incorporated.
  12. 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.
