Shortbread Base:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract; mix well. Gradually add the flour and salt; mix until a soft dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Caramel Layer:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Spread a layer of the caramel over each cooled shortbread cookie. Place cookies in the refrigerator to set.
Chocolate Topping:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip the top of each caramel-coated cookie in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place the cookies on the parchment paper.
Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Serve.
24 cookies.
