1. Preheat oven to 350F.

Instructions

2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.

Instructions

3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract and then slowly beat in the flour until just incorporated.

Instructions

4. Fold the dough out onto a floured surface. Place a piece of parchment paper over the dough and roll out until 1/4" thickness.

Instructions

5. Use a round cookie cutter and cut out 40 cookies, re-rolling the dough as needed.

Instructions

6.. Place the cut cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 1" apart.

Instructions

7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown.

Instructions

8. Allow the cookies to cool as you prepare the caramel topping.

Instructions

9. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of caramels and 2 Tablespoons milk and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir and reheat as needed.

Instructions

10. Portion out the caramel in 1 tablespoon increments onto each cooled cookie.

Instructions

11. (Repeat melting the caramels with milk as needed to top each cookie. I prefer to do this in small increments as the caramel tends to harden quickly.)

Instructions

12. Once all shortbread cookies are topped with caramel, place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir and reheat as needed.

Instructions

13. Drizzle the chocolate over the caramel-topped cookies.
