Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
- 10–12 caramel candies or 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a smooth, slightly firm dough forms.
- Create the Cookie Layer: Press the dough evenly into a parchment-lined baking pan to form a firm, uniform base with consistent thickness.
- Bake the Cookie Base: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Add the Caramel Layer: Once the base has cooled slightly, melt caramel candies or warm caramel sauce and spread evenly over the cookie layer. Let it set slightly before proceeding.
- Top with Chocolate: Sprinkle milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate over the caramel layer. Allow residual heat to soften the chocolate, then spread evenly with a spatula, sealing the caramel.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least an hour to fully set the chocolate and caramel layers. Cut into bars or squares before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to ensure even mixing and the best dough texture.
- Line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Spread dough and caramel layers evenly for consistent texture in every bite.
- Allow each layer to cool and set properly to avoid mixing or melting.
- Use a warm, sharp knife when cutting to get clean edges without cracking the chocolate.
