Equipment

  • mini muffin pan
  • mixing bowls
  • hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small spoon or teaspoon
  • microwave safe bowls
  • Spoon or small spatula

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups flour

Filling:

  • 24 unwrapped caramel squares
  • 1 Tablespoon heavy cream

Topping:

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan (unless using a nonstick pan).
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg white and vanilla and beat.
  • Add in the salt, baking powder and flour and beat until it starts to form a ball.
  • Roll the dough into balls (about 2 teaspoons in size) and place in the muffin cups and gently flatten.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden brown.
  • Remove and immediately press the centers down to form a well in the middle of each cookie (the back of a small teaspoon works well to create the indent).
  • Set aside and let cool.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, place the caramels and the heavy cream and melt in short bursts, stirring each time, until the caramel is completely smooth.
  • Spoon about 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon of caramel into each cookie well. Once each cookie has caramel, place the pan into the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set the caramel.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil, stirring frequently until completely smooth.
  • Spread the chocolate over the top of the caramel, and smooth with the back of the spoon.
  • Allow the cookies to sit for 15-20 minutes for the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
