Caramel Shortbread Cookie

About the Caramel Shortbread Cookie

Inspired by the classic caramel-and-shortbread bar, this cookie stacks a buttery shortbread base under a layer of soft caramel and a chocolate finish. The shortbread gives it a firmer, snappier texture than the cakey flavors, while the caramel keeps every bite rich and a little salty-sweet.

It travels well thanks to that sturdier base, which makes it a good choice for a gift box. Coffee is the standout pairing here, cutting the caramel's sweetness nicely.

Serving & pairing tip

Sturdier texture; great for gift boxes and pairs with coffee.
