Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies Recipe

Introduction

These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies bring the beloved candy bar experience to your kitchen. With a buttery cookie base, gooey caramel center, and a rich chocolate drizzle, they’re sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

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 oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
4. Step 4: Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Make an indent in each cookie for the caramel.
5. Step 5: Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden around edges but still soft in the middle. Cool slightly before filling indents with caramel sauce.
6. Step 6: Melt chocolate chips until smooth and drizzle over cookies. Let set before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, try using salted butter and reduce added salt slightly.
• Substitute caramel sauce with dulce de leche for a creamier texture.
• Use dark chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet topping.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape better.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep the caramel soft, avoid refrigerating. Reheat slightly in a microwave or warm oven if you want the chocolate and caramel gooey again.

FAQs

Can I make the caramel sauce from scratch?

Yes, homemade caramel sauce works wonderfully and adds a fresh flavor. Simply simmer sugar and cream until thickened, then cool before using.

What’s the best way to melt chocolate chips for drizzling?

Melt chocolate chips gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning and ensure smooth texture.

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 and Topping

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

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: 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 large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted 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 to incorporate fully.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
4. Shape Cookies: Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Gently make an indent in the center of each cookie to hold the caramel filling later.
5. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn golden but the centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
6. Fill with Caramel: Once slightly cooled, fill the indents in each cookie with caramel sauce, spreading gently without overflowing.
7. Melt and Drizzle Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips until smooth using a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the cookies and let them set completely before serving.

Notes

• You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own homemade caramel for a richer flavor.
• For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure the cookie dough creaming process is smooth and creates a tender crumb.
• If you prefer milk chocolate, it will give a sweeter taste; semi-sweet chocolate offers a balanced bittersweet contrast to the caramel.
• Allow cookies to cool slightly before adding caramel to prevent it from melting and spreading too much.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
