📝 Ingredients
For the shortbread base:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the caramel layer:
- 1 cup soft caramels (about 25 pieces), unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
For the chocolate topping:
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother melting)
👩🍳 How to Make Twix Cookies
1. Make the Shortbread Base
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in vanilla, then add flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough out to about ¼-inch thickness and use a round cookie cutter to cut out shapes (a 2-inch cutter works great).
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
- Let cool completely.
2. Add the Caramel Layer
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel onto each cookie and gently spread.
- Let the caramel set for about 10 minutes before adding chocolate.
3. Top with Chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips with the oil (if using) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Spoon or drizzle chocolate over the caramel layer.
- Let cookies sit at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until chocolate is set
