Caramel Shortbread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, white sugar, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and salt until combined. Press the mixture into the lined baking pan.
3. Bake the shortbread for 15-20 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Set aside to cool.
4. In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Over medium heat, stir the mixture until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the caramel thickens.
5. Remove the caramel from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the caramel over the shortbread and spread evenly.
6. Let the caramel shortbread cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge to allow the caramel to set. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the shortbread into squares.
7. Serve and enjoy!
