Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9×13 baking dish by with parchment paper and spray it with a nonstick baking spray.
- In a large bowl, add the butter, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until the butter is well combined.
- Gradually add in the flour and beat until all of the flour is added. The shortbread will be crumbly but should hold it’s shape when pinched together.
- Take 3-4 cups of the shortbread dough and firmly press it into the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the base is set and the edges are golden. Set aside to cool.
- Pour the caramels and heavy cream into a saucepan and stir together on the stovetop until it’s all melted and gooey. Pour the caramel sauce over the cookie base and spread to the edges with an offset spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips all over the top of your caramel layer.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls from the remaining dough. Roll the dough into a ball and press it flat like a disc. Lay them over your chocolate chip layer allowing them to overlap a little.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Set out at room temperature to cool completely.
- Cut and serve.
