Ingredients:
- 150g soft butter (margarine works too)
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 room temperature egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 to 3.5 cups flour
- 1 cup minus one finger powdered sugar
For the Caramel:
- 1 cup sugar (180g)
- 60g butter
- 100ml heavy cream
For the Topping:
- 4 packets of milk chocolate
Instructions:
- Combine all cookie ingredients in a bowl, starting with 3 cups of flour and adding more as needed, to form a soft, non-sticky dough. Shape into a roll, wrap in cling film, and refrigerate.
- For the caramel, melt sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, occasionally swirling the pan. Once liquefied, reduce heat, add butter and mix quickly. Gradually add cream, continuing to stir (it may clump, keep stirring). Once smooth, remove from heat.
- Cut the chilled dough into slices. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C until the edges are slightly golden. Let cool slightly, then spoon caramel over each cookie and allow to set in the fridge.
- Melt the chocolate (using a double boiler or microwave) and drizzle over the cookies. Once the chocolate sets, they're ready to enjoy.
