Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Caramel Layer
- Soft caramel candies (about 20 pieces) or ¾ cup thick caramel sauce
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until fully combined into a dough.
- Shape the Cookie Base: Divide the dough into even portions and shape each into a small rectangular bar resembling Twix bars. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake the Cookie Base: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly while still warm.
- Add the Caramel Layer: Warm the caramel candies or sauce until soft, then spread a generous layer over each warm cookie base. Let the caramel set as the cookies cool.
- Top with Melted Chocolate: Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Pour or spread the chocolate evenly over the caramel layer. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice into individual pieces if desired and enjoy the perfect combo of cookie, caramel, and chocolate.
Notes
- Use soft butter at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother dough.
- Warm caramel gently to spread without melting the cookie base.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before pouring to avoid melting the caramel.
- Chill cookies after chocolate sets for clean slicing without mess.
