# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
02 -
1 cup confectioners' sugar
03 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
04 -
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Caramel Topping
06 -
11 ounces soft caramel candies
07 -
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
→ Chocolate Coating
08 -
2 cups milk chocolate chips
09 -
2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F. Put parchment paper or a silicone mat on your baking sheet.
02 -
Drop softened butter and confectioners' sugar into your stand mixer bowl with the paddle attached. Mix slowly until they're completely blended.
03 -
Pour in the vanilla extract and mix it up until everything's evenly combined.
04 -
Slowly add the flour and salt with the mixer running on low. Keep mixing just until a soft dough comes together.
05 -
Place your dough between two sheets of parchment or wax paper and flatten it with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thick.
06 -
Use a 2.5-inch round cutter to shape the cookies. Place them on your prepared sheet, leaving about an inch between each one.
07 -
Pop them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden. Let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool down completely.
08 -
Put caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 60 seconds, give it a stir, then keep heating in 15-second bursts until it's all smooth.
09 -
Take a spoonful of warm caramel and spread it over each cookie that's cooled off. Wait until the caramel layer hardens completely.
10 -
Mix chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir it up, and keep going in 30-second intervals until it's all melted and smooth.
11 -
Drizzle melted chocolate over the hardened caramel on each cookie, smoothing the top as you go. Let the chocolate harden before you serve them.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Make sure your cookies are totally cool before adding caramel and chocolate or they'll melt and slide off.
