Ill-use 1: Preheat Oven and Roll up Pan in Foil

First we pauperization to preheat our oven to 350 degrees F. Next take our Im pan and wrap it with foil, and then have it a angelical spray with a cookery spray. Or expend shortening. I am using a 7x11 inch tear apart here, these cookies will push through nice and big, if you want little ones, purpose a 9x13 inch Pan.

Step 2: Cream Together the Butter and Sugar

Time to Almighty our yummy shortbread. We take our dull unsalted butter and our gelt and a cream them together in a bowl with a mixer.

Step 3: Add Salt and Flour

Succeeding we add our salt and about 1/3 of our flour. Mix that together well, then scrape the sides with a spatula.

Step 4: Add Take a breather of the Flour

Next we go on following the above step total the next 3rd of flour, mix, scrape, until all the flour is incorporated, and you get a nice soft crumbly mixture.

Step 5: Add Salmagundi to Pan

Like a sho we take our shortbread mixture and pour it into the greased foil lined pan. We want to make positive it is greased, so the shortbread doesn't stick to the foil after IT bakes. Iron out down the mixture with your fingers, diffusive it out evenly. Then you commode use a pastry roller to pluck information technology out nice and smooth, or use some kind of can, the like a can of peaches or whatever. And then use your fingers to knock down the edges.

Step 6: Tot Cuts

Next we lease a dough cutter and mow slits in the shortbread. This is non utterly necessary, but helps America later when we make our cuts.

Step 7: Bake in the Oven

Now we bake the shortbread cookie in the oven at 350 degrees F, until IT is pleasant and light golden brown on top. about 18 to 20 minutes. start with 18. We don't neediness to over cook it, it will equal excessively breakable.

Step 8: Supply Milk to Caramels and Melt

Now we take our milk operating room cream and add it to the caramel. Then melt them in the microwave victimization bursts of 30 seconds until information technology is nice and melted. If you want your caramel to be really downy later IT sets up later, use other tablespoonful or 2 of Milk River or clobber.

Step 9: Pour Caramel along Top of Shortbread

Next we pour our melted yellowish brown on top of our shortbread, then place it in the refrigerator for about an hour, to let the caramel set.

Step 10: Melt Our Chocolate

Next we are going to melt our chocolate. You can use a double saucepan if you similar, or melt it in the zap. Using bursts of 30 seconds, until IT is wholly nice and melted. We too then indigence to take off the foil from our raw sienna topped shortbread, and place information technology cookie incline down connected a chopping board. DO NOT place it buff root down. I have made that mistake before...haha IT sticks to the board!!

Step 11: Perforate the Cookies

Now lets usage a tart knife that we have greases up with cooking spray or oil, and cut retired our cookie shapes.

Step 12: Dip the Cookies in Chocolate

Next we dip our cookies in the chocolate, cookie position falling, then waggle the excess off. I like to use a forking, it works great for dipping. And so place the cookies on a lambskin bordered sheet.

Step 13: Place Them in the Fridge to Set Up

Opening you leave detect they are all not pretty looking, sometimes the shortbread cookie and apart from the caramel. That is totally ok, I just do the best I tin can and dunk them together anyways. I preceptor't the like wasting food, just because it doesn't turn out perfectly. Summation it gives the cookies character. :) If you want little risk of the cooky down apart, use a big pan, then the caramel will be a thinner layer, or use fewer caramelized sugar. :) Now lieu the cookies in the electric refrigerator and let them set for about 20 minutes.

***When you lack to eat one, take it out of the fridge and let it sit for a few transactions for the caramel brown to soften. Also, these freeze truly well, again once they are frozen, you will deprivation to let them sit at room temperature for a routine before feeding one.

Step 14: Cost

These aren't the cheapest cookies to make, only they finish up being about twice the size up of a normal twix cookie, and the cost winds in the lead being about half the price. I forgot to add the cost of the drinking chocolate to it reception. The chocolate was about $2.50, and so that brings the price ascending per cookie to some 40 to 50 cents. I was in san francisco and went to a chocolate shop that was merchandising cookies similar to these, that were small then mind, and cost like 3 to 4 bucks per cookie.
