Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies Recipe

Introduction

These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies capture the perfect balance of buttery cookie, rich caramel, and smooth chocolate. They’re a delightful treat that brings the beloved candy bar to your home kitchen in cookie form. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious, they’re perfect for any occasion.

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 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 flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Step 4: Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make a small indent in the center of each cookie for the caramel filling.
5. Step 5: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before filling each indent with caramel sauce.
6. Step 6: Melt the chocolate chips until smooth, then drizzle the chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, try using homemade caramel sauce or adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle.
• You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate or dark chocolate according to your preference.
• If you prefer a firmer caramel layer, chill the cookies briefly after adding caramel before drizzling the chocolate.

Storage

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to a week. To enjoy them soft, bring to room temperature before serving. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.

FAQs

Can I make the caramel sauce from scratch?

Yes, homemade caramel sauce adds a delicious depth of flavor. You can make it by melting sugar and butter and adding cream carefully. Store-bought caramel works perfectly well if you prefer convenience.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

Using chilled dough helps control spreading. Also, ensure you use the correct amount of flour and avoid over-mixing the dough, which can cause cookies to spread more.

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

Filling & Topping

• 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 even baking.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture. Then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate them.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing that can toughen the cookies.
5. Shape Cookies and Add Indent: Using a scoop, place dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart. Press an indent into the center of each cookie dough ball—this will hold the caramel filling after baking.
6. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden around the edges but still soft in the center for that chewy texture.
7. Add Caramel Filling: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Spoon or pipe caramel sauce into the indents created in each cookie, filling them generously.
8. Melt and Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips until smooth (using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler). Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-filled cookies to finish, then allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

• For best results, use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
• Homemade caramel sauce can be used for a more personalized flavor.
• Milk chocolate chips will give a sweeter taste, while semi-sweet chocolate adds a balanced richness.
