- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 20 soft caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tbsp milk (whole works best)
- 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Make the Cookie Dough
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg white and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder, stirring until a soft, Play-Doh-like dough forms.
- Shape and Bake
- Roll the dough out to 1/4–1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 6–8 minutes, until puffy and no longer glossy.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Caramel Layer
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and milk.
- Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway, until smooth.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel onto each cooled cookie and spread almost to the edges.
- Chill cookies in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to set the caramel.
- Add the Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate over the cooled caramel.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster cooling.
Tips for Perfect Twix Cookies
- Use soft caramels (like Kraft) for easier melting.
- Don’t overbake—you want a soft, tender cookie base.
- Work quickly with caramel so it doesn’t harden before spreading.
