Ingredients

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

Creamy Caramel Layer

  • 20 caramels, unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp milk

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the salted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your dough.
  3. Add Vanilla and Egg White: Incorporate the vanilla extract and the egg white into the creamed mixture, mixing thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together fully with no dry patches.
  5. Shape Cookies: Roll out the dough on a flat surface to a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles and transfer them to an ungreased baking pan, spacing them evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 6 to 8 minutes, removing them when they are puffy and no longer glossy on top to achieve a tender texture.
  7. Cool the Cookies: Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely to ensure the caramel and chocolate layers will set nicely.
  8. Prepare Caramel Layer: While cookies cool, microwave the unwrapped caramels with the milk in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, stirring at the 30-second mark to ensure smooth melting. Stir until the caramel is creamy and free of lumps.
  9. Apply Caramel: Spoon a few teaspoons of the creamy caramel onto each cooled cookie, spreading it evenly to almost cover the surface.
  10. Chill: Place the cookies with the caramel topping into the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the caramel to set firmly.
  11. Melt Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate chips by microwaving them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and completely melted.
  12. Top with Chocolate: Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate over the caramel on each cookie, ensuring an even coating.
  13. Set Chocolate: Let the chocolate on the cookies cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm and set before serving for a perfect finish.

Notes

  • For easier rolling, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling out.
  • If you prefer a richer caramel flavor, use a soft caramel sauce instead of caramel candies.
  • Milk chocolate can be swapped with dark or white chocolate to customize the flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the caramel and chocolate layers firm.
  • Allow cookies to come to room temperature before eating to soften the caramel for best texture.
