Deep Dish Milky Way Cookies with Caramel Whipped Cream

For the cookies, heat oven to 350ºF. Spay 2 deep dish whoopie pie pans and set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl, heat chopped chocolate in 45-second intervals until completed melted and smooth. Stir in sugar and butter until blended. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder, mixing until incorporated. Stir in chopped Milky Way candies.

Using a large tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop about ¼ cup of dough into each deep dish cavity. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Let cookies cool in pans for about 1-2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

To prepare the whipped cream, in a medium bowl, beat whipping cream and salt with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks begin to form. Slowly beat in caramel topping (adding more if you find there isn’t enough caramel flavor for your taste).

When cookies have cooled completely, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and place one Milky Way bite on each cookie.
