Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Twix Cookies, inspired by the classic Twix candy bar. These cookies have a shortbread base, caramel layer, and chocolate topping.
Ingredients (makes about 24 cookies)
Cookie Base:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Layer:
- 1 cup soft caramel candies (or caramel bits)
- 2 tablespoons milk
Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the cookie base:
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in vanilla, flour, and salt until a dough forms.
- Press dough evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Bake:
- Bake 15–18 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
- Add caramel layer:
- Melt caramel with milk in a saucepan or microwave until smooth.
- Pour and spread over the baked cookie base. Chill 10–15 minutes to set slightly.
- Add chocolate topping:
- Melt chocolate chips (with oil if using) and spread over caramel.
- Chill 30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
- Slice and serve:
- Cut into bars or squares and enjoy.
💡 Tips:
- Sprinkle sea salt or crushed graham crackers over chocolate for extra flavor.
- For gooier bars, use double the caramel.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
