These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies combine a soft, buttery cookie base with a luscious caramel center and a rich chocolate drizzle. Inspired by the classic Twix candy bar, this recipe offers an indulgent treat perfect for dessert or snacks.

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

Filling and Topping

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully and create a smooth batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and keep cookies tender.
  6. Prepare Cookie Dough on Sheet: Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indent in the center of each cookie for the caramel filling.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they are golden around the edges but still soft in the center, ensuring a chewy interior with a crisp edge.
  8. Fill with Caramel: Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet, then spoon the caramel sauce into the indentations you made earlier carefully to prevent overflow.
  9. Melt Chocolate: While cookies cool, melt chocolate chips until smooth, either in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts or over a double boiler, stirring frequently.
  10. Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel-topped cookies. Let them set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving to allow the chocolate to harden slightly and create a perfect finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce with homemade caramel for a richer flavor.
  • Milk chocolate chips add sweetness; semi-sweet provides a balance to the caramel’s richness.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a firmer chocolate topping, refrigerate cookies after drizzling chocolate until set.
