These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies combine the classic flavors of buttery cookie dough, rich caramel, and smooth chocolate. Perfectly soft with a gooey caramel center and a chocolate drizzle topping, these cookies bring all the beloved elements of a Twix bar into a delightful homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Filling and Topping

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate them into the batter.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  4. Shape Dough and Create Indents: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart to allow for spreading. Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently press an indent into the center of each cookie to hold the caramel filling later.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown while the centers remain soft. Remove the baking sheet and allow the cookies to cool slightly so they hold their shape when filled.
  6. Add Caramel Filling: Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel sauce into each cookie indent while the cookies are still warm but not hot. This helps the caramel set nicely inside the cookie.
  7. Melt Chocolate and Drizzle: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-topped cookies. Let the chocolate set before serving, about 20 minutes at room temperature or quicker in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for a more homemade touch.
  • For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure even mixing.
  • If you prefer a firmer filling, refrigerate cookies after adding the caramel to help it set before drizzling chocolate.
  • These cookies keep well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
