Isn’t it wonderful that generally the simplest components can mix into one thing that makes you groan once you chew into it? That’s what occurs with these cookies. 🙂

First, you’ve the buttery shortbread cookie base, which is fairly tasty all by itself. However prime it with creamy caramel and chocolate layers, and also you’ve obtained an unforgettable cookie!

I’ve at all times been keen on Twix bars, however belief me, these cookies are even higher! They’re the proper mixture of chewy, crunchy, candy, and salty.

HOW TO MAKE EASY TWIX COOKIES

1. PREP – Let the butter sit on the counter to melt. Unwrap the caramels.
2. WET INGREDIENTS – Beat the smooth butter and sugar at medium velocity for 2-3 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat once more.
3. DRY INGREDIENTS – Gently stir within the flour and salt. Preheat the oven to 375°. Line your cookie sheet with parchment or silicone.
4. ROLL – On a calmly floured counter, roll dough to about 1/4″ thickness. Reduce into 2-inch circles. Place on the pans about two inches aside.
5. BAKE – Bake the cookies at 375° for Sep 11 minutes.
   After a few minutes, switch them to a cooling rack. Let baked cookies cool utterly earlier than including the topping.
6. CARAMEL – Place caramels, cream, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Warmth within the microwave till utterly melted. Add caramel to every cookie, spreading nearly to the sting of the cookie.

It’s fairly messy to attempt to eat a cookie earlier than the chocolate units, however generally it’s laborious to attend, so no judgement from me!

You positively must let the chocolate sit earlier than you switch or retailer the cookies. It could actually take as much as an hour relying on the temperature of your room.

You possibly can retailer cookies in an hermetic container for as much as per week at room temperature.

Additionally they freeze nicely. I favor to freeze them earlier than including the topping, however you possibly can freeze them after. First freeze them on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Then switch them to a freezer bag with wax paper between the layers. They are going to final for 3-4 months within the freezer.

• For distinct layers, look forward to the caramel to set earlier than you add the chocolate.
• For greatest outcomes, use top quality chocolate chips. I like to make use of both Hershey or Ghirardelli chocolate.
• Be sure you stir the chocolate typically as you might be melting it so it doesn’t get too sizzling.

• You should utilize caramel bits as an alternative of sq. caramels. They don’t soften fairly as nicely for me, however you do save a while not having to unwrap. And naturally when you have the time, you can also make do-it-yourself caramel, that may be epic!
• For a richer taste, you need to use darkish chocolate rather than the milk chocolate.
• As a substitute of utilizing a rolling pin, you possibly can kind cookie dough balls and flatten them with a glass. The cookies received’t have the identical uniform sides, however they are going to nonetheless style wonderful!
