Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (111g) salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 20 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened salted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg white and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough.
- Place the cookie circles on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are puffy and no longer glossy.
- Carefully transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, microwave the unwrapped caramels with 1 tablespoon of milk for 1 minute, stirring at the 30-second mark, until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon a few teaspoons of the melted caramel onto each cooled cookie, spreading it almost to the edges.
- Place the caramel-topped cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the caramel is firm.
- Melt the milk chocolate chips, using 30-second intervals and stirring in between, until completely smooth.
- Spread a small amount of the melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie.
- Let the chocolate layer set before serving your chewy Twix cookies.
Notes
- Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before adding the caramel and chocolate layers.
- Store your finished Twix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their chewy texture.
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can drizzle more melted chocolate on top of the set chocolate layer.
