Instructions

Make the Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the vanilla.
Add flour and salt; mix until a soft dough forms.
Scoop and roll into 1-inch balls, then flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are just golden. Let cool completely.
Add the Caramel Layer:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
Spoon a bit of caramel onto each cookie and spread it gently. Let it set for 10–15 minutes.

Top with Chocolate:
Melt the chocolate chips (and oil, if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Spoon or drizzle over the caramel layer and let set at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

Use high-quality white or dark chocolate for a twist on the classic flavor.
Sprinkle with sea salt before the chocolate sets for a sweet-salty combo.

Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
