Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookies:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Caramel Layer:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Chocolate Topping:
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Cream butter and sugar until smooth, then mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
      Add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
        Roll or press dough into small flat circles and place on baking sheet.
          Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden, then cool completely.
            In a saucepan, melt butter, brown sugar, and milk over medium heat, stirring until thickened (about 4–5 minutes).
              Spoon caramel onto cooled cookies and let set slightly.
                Melt chocolate chips and spread over caramel layer.
                  Let chocolate set before serving.

                    Notes

                    Do not overbake cookies or they will become too firm. Cook caramel until thick but still spreadable. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Refrigerate if the room is warm to keep layers stable.
