Ingredients

Scale

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.
