Pre-heat oven to 400*F.
Combine all dry ingredients except sweetener in a medium bowl.
In another bowl add your butter, sweetener, and extracts.
Using a fork or hand mixer, beat well until light and fluffy.
Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients, mix until a thick dough is formed.
Roll dough into 9 even balls and place on a butter-greased baking sheet and flatten each slightly.
Bake for 7-8min or until the cookies are just barely browned. (They will be fragile when first coming out of the oven so let them cool completely on the tray before trying to remove and place on a wire rack!!) *While the cookies are baking/cooling you can prepare your caramel.
Add all your caramel ingredients to a small sauce pan and turn the heat to high.
Whisk the caramel constantly until it starts to boil(bubble). Continue whisking for about 1 minute as it starts to thicken up slightly, then remove from the heat.
Once cooled a bit, place the caramel in the freezer for a few minutes to thicken up a little more.
At this time you can also prepare your chocolate drizzle by combining the chocolate-chips and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwaving at 30s increments until melted.
Remove your caramel from the freezer and add a small spoonful to the top of each cookie and swirl slightly with a spoon to cover the top. (I placed my cookies on a wire rack to top them).
Next drizzle your melted chocolate mixture on top using the back of a knife or fork.
Place the cookies gently away in the freezer to harden for 20-30min before serving. Enjoy your Chocolate Caramel Shortbread Cookies !
*Store these in a plastic container between layers of parchment in the freezer for a later snack OR up to 5 days in the fridge! Enjoy!
