     45      Ingredients
     46     </h2>
     47     <ul>
     48      <li>
     49       1 1/2 cups butter softened
     50      </li>
     51      <li>
     52       1 cup powdered sugar
     53      </li>
     54      <li>
     55       1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
     56      </li>
     57      <li>
     58       3 cups all purpose flour
     59      </li>
     60      <li>
     61       1/4 teaspoon salt
     62      </li>
     63      <li>
     64       11 ounces caramels (<em>we made our own, but only because the store
     65 didn’t have any caramels that weren’t individually wrapped</em>)
     66      </li>
     67      <li>
     68       1 tablespoon evaporated milk or cream
     69      </li>
     70      <li>
     71       2 cups milk chocolate chips
     72      </li>
     73      <li>
     74       2 teaspoons shortening
     75      </li>
     76     </ul>
     77     <h2>
     78      Instructions
     79     </h2>
     80     <ul>
     81      <li>
     82       Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
     83 or a nonstick baking mat.
     84      </li>
     85      <li>
     86       Place the butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat until light and
     87 fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined.
     88      </li>
     89      <li>
     90       Add the vanilla extract, flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until
     91 combined.
     92      </li>
     93      <li>
     94       Place the dough on a sheet of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap
     95 around the dough and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes.
     96      </li>
     97      <li>
     98       Flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a 1/2 inch
     99 sheet.
    100      </li>
    101      <li>
    102       Use a 2 or 3 inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies (<em>we
    103 used 8 oz Mason jars</em>).
    104      </li>
    105      <li>
    106       Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
    107      </li>
    108      <li>
    109       Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes or until edges are light brown.
    110 Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
    111      </li>
    112      <li>
    113       Cool the cookies on a rack.
    114      </li>
    115      <li>
    116       Place the caramels and evaporated milk in a bowl. Microwave at 45
    117 second increments until caramel is melted. Stir until smooth.
    118      </li>
    119      <li>
    120       Place a spoonful of caramel onto each cookie, using the back of the
    121 spoon to spread it to the edges of the cookie.
    122      </li>
    123      <li>
    124       Let the cookies sit until caramel has firmed up, about 20
    125 minutes.
    126      </li>
    127      <li>
    128       Place the milk chocolate chips and shortening into a bowl. Microwave
    129 in 30 second increments until chocolate is melted. Stir until
    130 smooth.
    131      </li>
    132      <li>
    133       Place a spoonful of melted chocolate onto each cookie and spread it
    134 over the caramel layer.
    135      </li>
    136      <li>
    137       Let the cookies sit until the chocolate has hardened, then serve or
    138 store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
    139      </li>
    140     </ul>
    141     <h2>
    142      Notes
    143     </h2>
    144     <ul>
    145      <li>
    146       These are super sticky. Wrap in wax paper.
    147      </li>
    148      <li>
    149       Taste better, with better mouthfeel, if moderately chilled.
    150      </li>
