Equipment

  • Electric mixer with paddle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 bag caramel candies I used about half of the bag
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the softened butter. Once it is no longer lumpy, add both sugars. Scrape the sides of the bowl in between new additions to catch anything stuck to the sides.
  • Mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing to incorporate.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a dough.
  • Scoop the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Use your hand to gently press them down part of the way so they have a flat top.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes until they are lightly golden brown around the edges and begin to crack on top.
  • Allow the cookies to cool. Then, melt the caramel candies on the stovetop or in the microwave. if you would rather have the caramel stay soft when it cools down, you can add one to two tablespoons of milk or heavy cream to them.
  • Apply the caramel to the cookies.  You can put a small dollop in the center to keep it pristine or put more and have it melt down the sides like I did, giving them a rustic look!
  • Place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, allowing the caramel to partially set.
  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips. If it seems rather thick, you can add some coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it out.
  • Spoon the chocolate on the cookies and spread it to create a circle of chocolate. As another option, drizzle chocolate lines on them.
  • Allow some time for the chocolate to firm up, then enjoy!
