This is the easiest version of a Millionaire's Shortbread Cookie Recipe you'll ever make. Mini shortbread cookie cups are topped with a swirl of soft Dulce de Leche caramel, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and a sprinkling of toffee bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are millionaire's shortbread cookies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Millionaire's shortbread cookies have layers of shortbread cookies topped with chewy caramel and dark chocolate. They are typically made in a 9x13-inch pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought it would be fun to change up this recipe and to make it easier to make. With the popularity of our chocolate caramel cookie cups<\/a> (stuffed with Snicker's Bars), I decided to turn them into cookie cups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make these easy millionaire's shortbread cookies, you'll start by baking 3-ingredient shortbread cookies in mini muffin pans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, each cookie is topped with a swirl of soft Dulce de Leche caramel. If you aren't familiar with Dulce de Leche, it's caramelized sweetened condensed milk. It's available in cans or jars and has a wonderfully rich caramel flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It holds its shape perfectly and makes a pretty swirl on top of these cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dulce de Leche is soft instead of chewy so these cookies do have a different texture than traditional millionaire shortbread bars. I personally love the contrast of a crisp cookie with soft caramel. It's really amazing. Plus it makes creating these cookies super easy and they look pretty too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each cookie is then drizzled with chocolate sauce. I used homemade chocolate ganache<\/a> but any store-bought hot fudge or chocolate sauce will work fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enhance the caramel flavor and to add some bling to the top of each cookie, I sprinkled on some toffee bits. I love the added crunch and the rich buttery flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
