Ingredients

  • 8 soft caramel candies
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 225 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 115 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 110 g light brown sugar
  • 70 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 80 g white chocolate chips
  • 70 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Method

  1. Microwave the caramels with the cream in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Spoon eight small mounds onto baking paper and freeze until firm.

  2. Whisk the flour, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Beat the butter and both sugars until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla, then mix in the dry ingredients and white chocolate chips.

  4. Divide the dough into eight portions. Flatten each, enclose one frozen caramel mound, and seal well. Chill for 30 minutes.

  5. Heat the oven to 180 C, or 165 C fan. Space the cookies well apart on two lined trays and bake for 13 to 16 minutes.

  6. Cool on the trays for ten minutes. Stir the powdered sugar with the milk and drizzle over the cookies.
