Make homemade Twix Cookies featuring a buttery shortbread base, a gooey caramel layer, and a smooth milk chocolate topping. These cookies capture the flavor of the candy bar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  6. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the caramel topping: Place the caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
  8. Once the cookies are cool, spoon about 1 teaspoon of the warm caramel mixture onto the center of each cookie. Let the caramel set slightly, about 10 minutes.
  9. Prepare the chocolate topping: Combine the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie.
  11. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, you can use store-bought soft caramel squares.
  • If you prefer a thumbprint style, press an indentation into the dough before baking and fill it with caramel after baking.
  • These cookies freeze well before the chocolate topping is added.
