Ingredients

Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2-1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Caramel Filling

  • 25 caramels 11 oz. pkg.
  • 4-5 Tbsp. heavy cream

Chocolate Topping

  • 12. oz. milk chocolate chips
  • 2-3 Tbsp. heavy cream more if needed

Instructions

Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 325-degrees.
  • Add butter, sugar, and baking powder to a medium-sized bowl. Beat until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add 1 cup of flour at a time and mix until all of the flour has been added.
  • The batter will be very thick - you can mix with a spatula toward the end so the dough doesn't stick to the beaters.
  • Roll into 1-inch balls and place 2-inches apart on baking sheet.
  • Press your thumb into the middle and create an indentation.
  • Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Caramel Filling

  • Add the caramels and 4-5 Tbsp. heavy cream to a bowl.
  • Heat in the microwave for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes - stirring every 30 seconds. Heat longer if needed. (Add more cream if needed).
  • Spoon caramel into the cookie indentations.
  • Let cool.

Chocolate Topping

  • Add milk chocolate chips and 2 Tbsp. heavy cream to a bowl. Microwave for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes - stirring every 30 seconds until melted. (Add more cream if needed).
  • Dip the top of the cookie into the chocolate and set aside to cool.
  • If the chocolate gets to thick to dip the cookies, add 1 tsp. of heavy cream to chocolate and microwave again in 10 second increments.
  • Cool and enjoy!
