In reply to dawne. The shortening is used in the melting of the chocolate, not in the making of the cookies. I wouldn’t use shortening in the cookies as it would change the consistency of the cookie.

In reply to rachel. I used Peter's caramel but if you are using Kraft, then you should definitely add something like evaporated milk or heavy whipping cream!

In reply to Rosanna. Thanks for stopping by Rosanna! Depending on what kind of caramel you use, sometimes you can add a couple of teaspoons of either evaporated milk or heavy whipping cream and that will keep the caramel soft!

In reply to Klaudia. I agree with you Klaudia! When using the Kraft caramels you either need to add evaporated milk or heavy whipping cream to keep them soft!

In reply to Debbie. When I make cookies with caramel.. I use the Kraft individually wrapped caramels.. put 15 caramels in a bowl, add 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (I would start with 2 tablespoons & add more if needed) and microwave until melted.. put on cookies.. the caramel will stay soft and gooey!

I don’t have shortening and tried butter but the chocolate came out super thick. How much butter 2 tsp? or is it more?

They came out perfect so far just issue with the chocolate part!

[…] Merry Christmas Eve!!! Hope it's full of good people, good food and good times! We're heading to church at 2 and then over to my parents house for the evening – gotta make the rounds! Here's one more cookie recipe that has been a big hit with everyone – tastes just like a Twix! I used the same shortbread base recipe as the Raspberry shortbread recipe that I shared a few days ago and then just rolled out the dough, cut them into nice circles and topped each one with melted caramel (let harden) then melted chocolate! YUM. Thanks for the idea, This Grandma is Fun! […]

Just made these cookies and everything turned out great except the caramels! It’s hard to bite down on these since the caramel is hard as a rock. There were two recipe on the bag of caramels and the one I looked at didn’t mention adding anything, so I didn’t. Other than that, this was an easy and delicious recipe.

Made these for a Christmas party “cookie-off”. Added water to the caramel as others have, and they turned out perfectly! I won the contests too! Thanks for the recipe!

Just made these today as part of my holiday baking. Unfortunately they are now in the compost 🙁 I too used Kraft caramels and had a heck of time getting them to melt. I added about 2 tsp of shortening to them and they melted perfectly. However, like a few have mentioned, the caramel turned so hard after cooling you can’t even bite thru them.

In reply to Alexandra. did you add a little heavy cream while melting your caramels? I have not made these yet but have read that adding the cream will help keep the caramels soft

In reply to Desiree. Ooohhh I think I would use the coconut oil over butter if you don't have shortening. Crossing my fingers that works!

In reply to Elizabeth. My butter was salted!

In reply to Desiree. Hi Desiree! I have not frozen the dough but my best guess is that it would work. And some people have mentioned that the caramel can be hard. If that's a problem, add a teaspoon or two of evaporated milk and hopefully that will help. With the caramel I had, I didn't have a problem, but just in case!

Hi Debbie,

Can you make the dough ahead and store in the fridge overnight? I want to make them for my son’s Christmas cookie exchange and would like to make the dough ahead of time. Thanks! 🙂

In reply to Debbie. Was the butter salted or unsalted? I'm assuming unsalted, but just wanted to be sure.

In reply to Debbie. Hi Debbie! Just wanted to make sure I'm doing the chocolate melt right. I don't have shortening, just coconut oil or butter. Butter is ok to use to thin the chocolate? Thanks! :)

I melted the kraft carmels with evaporated milk instead of water ( it was left over from making fudge). I put the melted Carmel in a disposable piping bag with a tube tip, worked very slick. I am going to try to freeze.

I’m no baker – and unfortunately had a lot of trouble with these cookies 🙁 The dough was so soft and sticky even coated in flour that I couldn’t transfer to the grease cookie sheet after cutting them. I also doubled the recipe and only yielded about 30 (2in x .5in) cookies. I used Kraft carmel bits which worked well and were still soft after cooling, however the Hersey chocolate chips did not melt well and was very hard to spread even after adding milk. If I were to make again I would definitely cut smaller cookies (1 inch) and maybe chill the dough so it’s firmer and easier to work with?

These were delicious. Big hit with everyone at the party I was at! I added a few tbs of heavy cream to the caramel, this kept it softt.

i like it, i was inspired to create a cookie with waffle creased cross design but hard to find in store, asking friends and store they dont have it, couldnt imagine i will find it shorisuperstore.com where they offer varieties for bake/cookware…more cheaper than amazon…
