- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg

- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
Caramel Filling:
- ½ cup caramel sauce (soft or chewy variety, melted slightly)
Chocolate Layer:
- 1 cup milk or dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (for smoother chocolate layer)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- Mix butter and sugar: Cream softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: Stir in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Shape cookie cups: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup, press gently to form a cup shape with a slight indent in the center.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden around the edges and slightly set in the center.
- Add caramel: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel into each cookie cup.
- Prepare chocolate layer: Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave, then spoon or pipe over the caramel.
- Set chocolate: Let the chocolate layer set at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.
Notes
- You can use store-bought or homemade caramel.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate for a salted caramel version.
