Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven!: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Create the Cookie Dough!: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 3 minutes will do.
Add Eggs & Dry Ingredients!: Mix in eggs one at a time until well combined. Gradually fold in flour, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips until just combined.
Scoop & Bake!: Use a cookie scoop to place dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Add Caramel Goodness!: While still warm, drizzle a generous amount of caramel sauce over each cookie. Let them cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
Enjoy your Twix Cookies warm from the oven or let them cool completely if you can resist! Each bite will send you straight into a blissful state of sweet delight!
You Must Know
- The key to these Twix Cookies is balancing the chewy cookie base with the crunchy caramel layer
- Ensure your butter is softened for a fluffy texture
- Pay attention to baking time; underbaking creates a gooey delight, while overbaking leads to dry cookies
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by creaming the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, then gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Bake at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes, just until golden.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap out chocolate chips for peanut butter or butterscotch chips for a unique twist. You can also add sea salt on top for that sweet-salty balance.
Storing & Reheating
Store your Twix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For reheating, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to regain that fresh-baked softness.
Chef's Helpful Tips
