Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (111g) salted butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Carmel Topping

  • 20 caramels, unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp milk

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie cups.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer fitted with a flex edge beater, cream together the salted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg White and Vanilla: Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined and smooth.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until a uniform dough forms.
  5. Shape Dough: Roll out the dough to a thickness between 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough and transfer them onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  6. Bake Cookies: Bake for 6-8 minutes at 350°F until the cookies are puffy and lose their glossy surface. Remove from oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Caramel: While cookies cool, microwave unwrapped caramels and milk in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, stirring halfway through at 30 seconds, until the caramel is smooth and creamy.
  8. Add Caramel to Cookies: Spoon a few teaspoons of the warm caramel onto each cookie, spreading it carefully to nearly cover the surface. Place cookies into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the caramel is fully set and cold.
  9. Melt Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  10. Finish with Chocolate: Spread a small layer of melted chocolate over the caramel on each cookie cup. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use a flex edge beater or paddle attachment for best mixing results.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should be puffy and not browned.
  • Allow cookie cups to cool completely before adding caramel and chocolate for the best texture.
  • Store the cookie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality caramel and chocolate chips.
