Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 cup Butter (softened, not melted)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar For that slight caramel warmth
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Topping
- 1 cup Caramel sauce or caramel bits Thick caramel works best
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream Optional, to loosen caramel if needed
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips or a chopped milk chocolate bar
- 1/2 cup Shortbread cookie pieces or crushed butter cookies Optional, adds a Twix-like texture
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars in a bowl until fluffy and lighter in color.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Scoop into large balls, then gently flatten into thick discs on the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 9 to 11 minutes until they look set but still soft in the center.
- Let them cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
Topping
- Once cookies are fully cooled, spread a layer of caramel on top.
- Melt the milk chocolate and spoon it over the caramel.
- If using cookie crumbs, sprinkle them immediately before the chocolate sets.
- Chill the cookies in the fridge for at least 30 to 45 minutes to set the topping.
Notes
Let the cookies cool completely before topping to avoid a slippery caramel layer. For serving, allow them to sit out for 10 minutes before serving for the perfect balance of chilly and soft.
