Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies Recipe

Introduction

These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies combine buttery cookie dough, rich caramel, and smooth chocolate to create an irresistible treat. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with a homemade twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Step 4: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart. Use your finger or a small spoon to make a shallow indent in the center of each cookie for the caramel.
5. Step 5: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
6. Step 6: Fill each cookie’s indent with caramel sauce. Melt the chocolate chips until smooth and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies.
7. Step 7: Allow the chocolate to set before serving or storing.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the caramel before drizzling chocolate.
• You can substitute caramel sauce with dulce de leche for a richer taste.
• Use dark chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet chocolate flavor.
• Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To enjoy warm cookies, reheat gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, but be careful not to melt the chocolate too much.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cookie Dough

• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Fillings and Toppings

• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a tender cookie texture.
3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition for even distribution and a smooth dough.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can lead to tougher cookies.
6. Shape Cookies: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart. Make an indent in the center of each cookie to create a well for the caramel filling.
7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, until they are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, ensuring a chewy texture.
8. Add Caramel: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then fill each indent with caramel sauce, adding the signature Twix-style flavor.
9. Melt Chocolate: While the caramel sets, melt the chocolate chips until smooth and drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies.
10. Set and Serve: Let the chocolate set completely before serving to enjoy the perfect combination of crunchy, chewy, caramel, and chocolate flavors.

Notes

• Use room temperature butter to ensure smooth creaming with sugars.
• For best texture, do not overmix the dough once flour is added.
• Make indents carefully to avoid breaking the cookie but ensure enough space for caramel filling.
• You can make the caramel sauce homemade or purchase a high-quality store-bought option.
• Chocolate chips can be semi-sweet or milk chocolate based on your preference.
• Allow cookies to fully cool so chocolate sets nicely and prevents messiness when serving.
