Description

These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies combine a buttery cookie base with creamy caramel centers and a luscious chocolate drizzle. Inspired by the classic Twix candy bar, this homemade treat offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors—soft, chewy, and decadently sweet—perfect for cookie lovers looking for an indulgent dessert.

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

Caramel Filling

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Chocolate Topping

  • 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 allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. Then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough, which can make the cookies tough.
  4. Shape Cookies and Add Indents: Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to gently make an indent in the center of each cookie to hold the caramel filling later.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. This ensures a chewy center with a slightly crisp edge. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the pan.
  6. Fill with Caramel: Spoon about a tablespoon of caramel sauce into the indent of each warm cookie, letting it settle nicely into the indentation but not overflow.
  7. Melt Chocolate and Drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the caramel-filled cookies.
  8. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place the cookies in the refrigerator for faster setting. Serve once the chocolate has hardened for the perfect Twix-style cookie experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to help with easier creaming.
  • You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own homemade caramel for a more personalized flavor.
  • Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips work well; adjust according to your sweetness preference.
  • If you want crisper cookies, bake a minute or two longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
