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

Caramel Filling

  • 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 bases.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a bowl, cream together the salted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring the sugar dissolves well into the butter to create a smooth texture.
  3. Add Egg White and Vanilla: Mix in the egg white and vanilla extract thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a smooth dough base.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly until a soft, cohesive dough forms without overworking it.
  5. Shape Cookies: Roll out the dough on a flat surface to a thickness between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles and transfer them onto an ungreased baking pan, spacing them evenly.
  6. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cookies puff up and the surface loses its glossy sheen. This ensures a tender yet sturdy base for the caramel filling.
  7. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, so they firm up and maintain their shape for adding the filling.
  8. Prepare Caramel Filling: While cookies cool, microwave the unwrapped caramels with milk for 1 minute, stirring halfway through at 30 seconds. Stir until the caramel is smooth and creamy for easy spreading.
  9. Add Caramel to Cookies: Spoon a few teaspoons of the warm caramel onto each cooled cookie, spreading it nearly to the edges. Place the caramel-topped cookies into the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to chill and set the caramel.
  10. Melt Chocolate Chips: Melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  11. Top with Chocolate: Spread a small layer of the melted chocolate over the caramel on each cookie cup. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before adding caramel to prevent melting and spreading.
  • For a firmer caramel, chill the cookie cups longer in the refrigerator.
  • Use high-quality milk chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth melting texture.
  • Store finished cookie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate and caramel firm.
  • Allow the cookie cups to come to room temperature briefly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
