Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Make sure the butter is softened. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
Baking
- Scoop the dough into 1½-tablespoon balls, rolling them into smooth shapes.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Create a thumbprint in each ball using your thumb.
- Bake for about 12–14 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are baking, combine the caramel candies with heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Fill the thumbprint with warm caramel.
- Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil, then drizzle or spoon it over the caramel on each cookie.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage, ensuring layers of parchment paper between cookies.
