Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- About 1 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup (90g) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with fingers or bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce on top of each cookie and spread gently with the back of a spoon.
- Chill cookies in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to set the caramel layer.
- Melt milk chocolate chips gently in the microwave in 20-second bursts or over a double boiler until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the chilled caramel layer using a spoon or piping bag.
- Let chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Flatten the cookie dough before baking to ensure the caramel layer sits evenly. Use real butter for best flavor and texture. Chill the caramel layer before drizzling chocolate to keep layers distinct. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning. Store cookies in a single layer to prevent chocolate from smushing.
