Instructions
Shortbread Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Mix the butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy
  4. Add the flour one cup at a time until a dough is formed (dumping it all in at once will make your life a lot more difficult!)
  5. Shape the dough into a large ball
  6. Dust your counter top with powdered sugar
  7. Roll the dough about 1/4 inch thick (If you want your cookies thicker remember to compensate your baking time!)
  8. Use a cookie cutter of your choice and carefully lift onto baking sheet (I recommend rounds on your first attempt as shapes tend to crumble!)
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are golden around the edges
  10. Cool on a wire rack
Salted Caramel Topping
  1. Combine caramels and heavy cream in a small saucepan over a low heat
  2. Immediately top your cookies with caramel using a knife
  3. Sprinkle sea salt over caramel
Recipe Notes

Additonally, you can melt semi-sweet dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the cookies for added flavor!
