Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 111g salted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup 115g granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 1/2 cups 228g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 20 unwrapped caramels
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 cups 400g milk chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg white and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  4. Stir in flour and baking powder until dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Roll dough to 1/4–1/2 inch thick. Cut circles with cookie cutter and place on baking sheet.
  6. Bake 6–8 minutes until puffy and no longer glossy. Cool completely on wire rack.
  7. Microwave caramels and milk until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Spread caramel over cooled cookies. Chill 10–15 minutes.
  8. Melt chocolate chips in microwave, stirring until smooth. Spread chocolate over caramel layer. Let set before serving.

Notes

Don’t overbake cookies—remove while slightly underdone for chewy texture. Always cool cookies fully before adding caramel and chocolate layers. Use high-quality caramels for best flavor.
