Brown Butter Twix Cookies
Description
Brown Butter Twix Cookies begin with butter browned until nutty and fragrant, which is then chilled before use. Combined with both brown and granulated sugars, eggs, and vanilla, this base creates a rich, chewy cookie dough. Flour, baking soda, and sea salt are added to provide structure and a hint of saltiness inside. The cookie dough is then folded with chopped Twix candy bars and semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing caramel and chocolate pieces throughout.
The dough is portioned into balls spaced apart on a baking sheet and baked until just set, preserving chewiness with crispy edges. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top accentuates the sweetness and adds textural interest. These cookies offer a layered flavor profile from butter, caramel, chocolate, and salt.
Chilling the dough up to 72 hours is recommended to deepen the flavors and improve handling. Baking times should be watched carefully to avoid overbaking and preserve softness inside. Serving warm enhances the melted chocolate and caramel experience.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter cut into tablespoon pieces
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 cup twix candy bar about 10 fun size bars, chopped
- sea salt for sprinkling on top, flaky
Instructions
- Place the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, smells nutty, and browns. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the browned butter into a medium bowl. Cover and place in the fridge until the butter sets up. It should be soft but not solid. This should take about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the chilled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined, don’t over mix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped Twix candy bars.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown around the edges but still a little soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough for up to 72 hours before baking to develop richer flavor and better texture.
