Soft and chewy Twix-inspired cookies made with a buttery cookie base, topped with gooey caramel and smooth milk chocolate for an indulgent, nostalgic treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 25 caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  9. Meanwhile, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  10. Spoon the melted caramel over each cookie.
  11. Melt the milk chocolate and drizzle or spread it over the caramel layer.
  12. Allow the cookies to set before serving.

Notes

  • Slightly underbaking the cookies helps keep them soft and chewy.
  • Do not overheat the caramel; low heat keeps it smooth.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist.
  • Dark chocolate can be used instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
