Description
Twix Cookie Cups are made with a soft sugar cookie crust, topped with creamy caramel and finished with a layer of milk chocolate. They taste just like a homemade Twix candy bar and are so fun to make!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (111 g) salted butter
- 1/2 cup (115 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups (228 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 20 caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 cups (400 g) milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg white and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough out until 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles and transfer them to an ungreased pan.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the cookies are puffy and no longer glossy. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, microwave the caramels and milk for 1 minute, stirring at the 30-second mark. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon a few teaspoons of caramel onto each cookie, spreading it almost to the edges.
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the caramel is completely cold.
- Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Spread a small amount of melted chocolate over each cookie. Let the chocolate set completely before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the caramel layer before adding the chocolate helps keep the layers neat.
- You can use a muffin tin if you want a more defined cookie cup shape.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
