Instructions

For the Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare baking sheets by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt together through a sifter or sieve at least twice. This will ensure ultra fluffy cookies.
  • Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter on high speed until it's light and fluffy and very creamy.
  • Beat the sugar into the butter until the mixture is creamy.
  • Add the vanilla and egg, mixing just until combined.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture slowly, mixing as you go. Stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain (don't forget to scrape down the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated!).
  • Using a 1-tablespoon sized cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out approximately tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls, placing them spaced out on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Flatten the dough balls down slightly with the palm of your hand or a flat-bottomed drinking glass or measuring cup.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 9-10 minutes or until the cookies just lose their shine on top.
  • Let the cookies cool on the pans until they're firm enough to move to cooling racks to cool completely.

For the Topping:

  • Once the cookies have cooled, spread each one with about 1 teaspoon of the caramel spread.
  • Let the caramel spread set in the fridge for a few minutes if necessary.
  • Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and melt it on 50% powder in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring after every 30 seconds.
  • Spread about 3/4 to one teaspoon of melted chocolate over the caramel on each cookie, leaving a small margin of caramel visible.
  • Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.

Notes

Storage Instructions

These cookies keep well in an airtight container for about 3-5 days at room temperature. The chocolate and caramel might transfer, so it's best to store them in a single layer or with parchment paper between them.

Freezer Instructions

We recommend freezing these cookies with a sheet of parchment paper between the layers to prevent them from sticking. These cookies freeze well in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
