Description
Delicious caramel chocolate cookies topped with melted chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 20 caramels (unwrapped, or 1 cup Kraft caramel bits)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Continue mixing until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Use a small round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Repeat with remaining cookie dough cutting out more circles until most of the dough is used up.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 6-8 minutes until slightly puffy with no glossy appearance.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
- For the caramel: Melt 20 caramels with 1 tablespoon milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.
- Spoon or pipe about a teaspoon of caramel onto each cooled cookie, spreading almost to the edges. Let set for a few minutes.
- For the chocolate: Melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Spread or pipe melted chocolate over each caramel-topped cookie. Let chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure to let cookies cool completely before adding the caramel and chocolate toppings.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
