Easy Twix Cookies
Description
Easy Twix Cookies consist of a sturdy cookie base made from butter, sugar, vanilla, egg whites, flour, and baking powder, rolled thin and cut into circles before baking to a lightly golden finish. After cooling, a homemade caramel sauce made from softened caramels and heavy cream is spread over each cookie, then chilled to set the topping properly. The cookies are completed by drizzling melted milk chocolate on top, replicating the layered texture and flavor of Twix candy bars.
The cookies have a crisp edge with a slightly tender center supporting the sticky, creamy caramel and smooth chocolate coating. These elements combine to create a sweet treat that highlights familiar snack bar flavors in a cookie format. The process includes simple steps like microwaving caramel and chocolate for quick assembly after baking.
