How to Make Caramel Shortbread Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan (approximately 8x8 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare the caramel topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the caramel is smooth.
- Remove the shortbread from the oven and immediately pour the caramel topping evenly over the hot crust.
- Let the caramel shortbread cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your award-winning treat!
