Millionaire Cookie

Well now you heard right…millionaire cookie is a thing and oh what a beautiful thing it is!

It’s just like millionaire shortbread but the bottom layer is a buttery soft chocolate chip filled cookie instead.

I have done my basic cookie recipe here but that does not mean its not packed full of flavour and jammed packed with chocolate chips.

The cookie needs to be buttery and soft just like shortbread is on millionaire shortbread.

After the cookie has been cooled, top it with the thick lovely caramel. The caramel should be warm but not boiling hot as this will mean it takes longer to set.

The caramel needs to be nice and thick when you pour it on to the cookie base as that will insure it sets well.
