Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cupunsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cupgranulated sugar
  • 1/4 cupbrown sugar, packed
  • 1 tspvanilla extract
  • 1 cupall-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tspbaking soda
  • 1/8 tspsalt
  • 20soft caramels (or1/2 cupcaramel sauce)
  • 2 tbspheavy cream (optional, for melting caramels)
  • 1/2 cupmilk or dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  4. Scoop about a tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Press the dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a cup shape.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and immediately press down the centers using the back of a spoon or a small cup. Let cool completely in the tin.
  6. Melt the caramels with heavy cream (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat on the stovetop. Stir until smooth. Fill each cookie cup with caramel, leaving a little space at the top.
  7. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each. Spoon melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it to cover the top completely.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once firm, gently remove the cookie cups from the tin and serve.

Notes

Storage:Keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Variations:Add a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet and salty twist, or substitute dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
Caramel Tip:If using store-bought caramels, melt them with heavy cream for a smoother consistency.
