Cookies
  1. Combine Butter and Sugar in a large bowl. Beat until fluffy. Add vanilla, baking powder, and flour until just combined.
  2. Wrap dough and chill for at least an hour (preferably overnight).
  3. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  4. Roll out cookie dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut out 2 ½ inch circles. Combine dough scraps and repeat this process until the dough has been depleted.
  5. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool on baking tray for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Caramel
  1. In a saucepot, combine light-corn syrup and granulated sugar. Place over a low heat to allow the sugar to dissolve.
  2. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and unsalted butter. In 30-second burst, melt the butter into the cream.
  3. Boil the sugar until it reaches 245° Fahrenheit. Then add in the heavy whipping cream mixture while the heavy whipping cream is still hot.
  4. Let cool to 100° Fahrenheit. Add a tablespoon of caramel to the top of each cookie. Let cool completely.
Chocolate
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate and vegetable oil. In 15-second burst, melt the chocolate until smooth.
  2. Place one tablespoon of chocolate on each cookie. Spread if needed. Let set by cooling completely.
