- ½ tsp salt
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅔ granulated sugar
- 2⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 26 soft caramels (Kraft, or Werthers)

Instructions
Cookies
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until well combined.
- Mix in egg yolks and vanilla until well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in flour. Mix until the flour is fully incorporated.
- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, place the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon in the middle of the cookies.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 35-45 mins.
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and place them on a wire cooling rack.
- If the indents have flattened out, gently push the centers down again with a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon.
Caramel Filling
- When the cookies are completely cool, unwrap the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Continue until the caramel is melted and smooth.
- Spoon caramel into the indents being careful not to overfill them.
Chocolate Topping
- Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips on low for 20 seconds. Stirring in between. Continue melting until the chocolate in is smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the top by using a piping bag with a small tip or a ziplock bag with a small hole in the tip cut.
- Cool completely, and enjoy!
