Turn buttery shortbread into something extra special by simply topping with caramel, chocolate and a sprinkle of salt. It's a winning combination!

These cookies are amazing! After reading reviews I cooked the caramel on the stove, so it could stay hot while I was spreading it. I didn't alter the shortbread recipe any because these cookies are not meant to be sweet. My husband loves them! I made 2 bite rounds, so I got quite a few. Turned out beautiful and delicious! Definitely need milk with these bad boys.

Made these last Christmas, (they had looked so good in their photo)- I felt like they took forever to make start to finish though!!- and although the LOOKED GREAT,- I too, was slightly disappointed with THE TASTE- I followed recipe exactly- (everyone who ate one seemed to agree..) . Overall, -Sorry to say I felt they were a little more work than they were worth...

Just made these. I cut them into squares after rolling them out instead of cutting out circles. They are easy to make, and look pretty. Just not what I thought they would be like as far as taste goes. Maybe they need a thick layer of chocolate on the top of a caramel, then they would be like a twix.

Just made these cookies as part of our annual Christmas baking marathon. They turned out great. They were easy to make and delicious. I did make the cookies a bit smaller, and a little thicker. Instead of frosting them with the caramel, I used a whisk to drizzle them instead. I also drizzled the chocolate, then sprinkled generously with kosher salt. I love how pretty they are!

I thought they were a nightmare also. The cookis crumbled so easily and the caramel was thick and hard. Wish I knew what went wrong because they sounded goo.

I thought these cookies were a nightmare to make. First, the dough was so soft when I was rolling them out (even after I refrigerated it) that it was hard to keep them round when transferring to the cookie sheet. So I started making balls and flattening them on the cookie sheet with the back of my spatula. That worked well and made smaller cookies. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a minute or two, or they will crack when transferring them to the rack. Then, the caramel was so hard to spread on top of the cookies. Like others said, it cooled so quickly. The melting time for the chocolate is all wrong-check every 10 seconds to make sure it doesn't seize, and I also added more butter. I put my chocolate in a sandwich bag and cut the corner to drizzle. All that said, I probably will not be making these again. They weren't worth the frustration!

I made this today and they are wonderful. I did have trouble with the dough sticking to the wax paper when I was trying to cut the cookies. If someone can share with me what I did wrong, please do. I ended up putting the dough in the freezer for a few minutes and that helped. I also added a little more butter to the chocolate. I will definitely make these again - try and try again.

I made these last night and they came out beautifully! Very easy to make, a little time consuming but no one step was difficult. I followed the directions exactly and didn't have any trouble. I used a measuring teaspoon for the caramel, dropped it on top of the cookie and then used the back of the spoon to spread it (like you would with pizza sauce). I did have to nuke the caramel in the middle of putting it on the cookies for about 15 seconds to keep it easy to work with. I got a bit over generous with the salt, so glad that it didn't all stick.

I've made these twice and they were a big hit. I also added another tablespoon of butter to the chocolate, and 1 minute was more than enough. I let mine cool completely and the caramel spread fine. I did however add the salt immediately after spooning the caramel on. Sticks better. It was suggested that these would be good in a bite size cookie, so I'll try that next time!
