📝 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
