Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 14 ounces caramel candies
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Use your thumb or the back of a small spoon to make a deep indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the caramel filling. In a saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Fill each thumbprint with the melted caramel.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies.
- Let the chocolate set before serving. Store in an airtight container.
