These Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies combine a buttery cookie base with gooey caramel and rich chocolate chips for a delicious homemade treat inspired by the classic candy bar.

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

Fillings 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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate them fully into the batter.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make the cookies tough.
  6. Shape Cookies and Add Caramel: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie apart. Press an indent into the center of each cookie to hold the caramel sauce.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle for the perfect chewy texture.
  8. Cool and Top: Remove from oven and let the cookies cool slightly before topping the caramel-filled indents with chocolate chips to mimic the classic Twix combination.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to keep cookies tender.
  • For a richer caramel flavor, use homemade caramel sauce or soften store-bought caramel before adding.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped chocolate bars for a chunkier texture.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely to let chocolate set properly before serving.
