Description

Twix-Style Cookies are the nostalgic bite that combines a buttery shortbread base, a silky caramel layer, and a glossy chocolate drizzle. The cookies stay tender with a hint of crisp at the edges, revealing gooey caramel pockets in every bite. With pantry-friendly ingredients and a quick 27-minute process, they shine at gatherings, bake sales, or a cozy weekend treat that earns raves and invites seconds.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
½ cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped
2 tbsp heavy cream
¾ cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Gradually mix in flour and salt to form a soft dough.
Scoop dough onto baking sheets and gently flatten into rounds.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
Melt caramel with heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Spoon caramel over each cooled cookie and let set slightly.
Melt chocolate and drizzle over the caramel layer.
Allow chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

Line pans with parchment to prevent sticking.
Chill the cookie dough briefly if it’s too soft to scoop.
If caramel is too thick, whisk in a little more cream until smooth.
Store cookies in an airtight container; they firm up as they chill.
