Directions:
1. Shortbread layer: Preheat oven to 375º. In a medium bowl, combine butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour; beat at low speed until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour or until firm.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2-inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your thumb or end of wooden spoon handle to make an indentation in center of each cookie. Bake 7-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely.
3. Caramel filling: Melt the caramels and heavy cream in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Put a teaspoon of filling into each cookie.
4. Drizzle: Melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Scoop into Ziploc bag and barely snip corner and drizzle over cookies.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Shortbread: Cookie dough holds up well in the refrigerator, as well as the unfilled cookies.
Caramel and chocolate can be made using a double boiler. I skipped the Ziploc bag for the drizzle and just dipped a fork in the chocolate to spread it over the cookies.
