Ingredients
  

Shortbread Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Caramel Layer
  • 14 ounces Soft caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or butter

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cream butter and sugar, then mix in flour, vanilla, and salt to form a dough. Press the dough evenly into a prepared baking pan and bake until lightly golden, allowing it to cool completely.
  2. Melt unwrapped caramels with heavy cream and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour the warm caramel over the cooled shortbread base and spread evenly, then let it set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  3. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the set caramel layer.
  4. Chill the cookies in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm. Once set, cut into bars or squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure all layers are fully cooled or set before adding the next to prevent them from melting into each other. For easier cutting, use a hot knife.
