Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowl or saucepan
• Cookie scoop
• Cooling rack

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions

• Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor

• Add almond extract to the dough for extra richness
• Use gluten-free flour cup-for-cup
• Dip cookies fully in chocolate for a true candy-bar effect

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Make the Shortbread Dough

Cream together:

• softened butter
• sugar

Mix until fluffy. Add vanilla, then mix in flour and salt until a soft dough forms.

3. Shape the Cookies

Scoop or roll dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Flatten slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.

4. Bake

Bake 10–12 minutes or until edges just barely turn golden. Cool completely before adding caramel.

5. Add the Caramel Layer

Melt caramels with heavy cream in the microwave (30-second intervals). Stir until smooth. Spoon about 1 teaspoon onto the center of each cookie.

6. Add the Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil. Drizzle over cookie tops or dip entire tops for a thick chocolate coating. Let set at room temp or chill for quicker setting.
