Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl: flours, pudding mix, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Place cubed butter and sugars into bowl of a stand mixture and secure the paddle attachment. Turn mixer on and cream until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract and blend until mixed. Use a rubber spatula to knock off mixture if any is sticking to the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients, about 1/4 cup at a time. Then add in the frozen chopped Twix pieces and mix just until combined.
- Roll cookie dough into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet. Press down a little if you want since these do not spread very much. You can make giant cookies, or make into smaller sized cookies. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Allow cookies to cool while you make caramel and chocolate layer.
For caramel layer
- Add unwrapped caramels and evaporated milk to a medium mixing bowl. Heat in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between intervals, until melted and smooth (Shouldn't take longer than 1 minute).
- Add a heaping spoonful over each cooled cookie and let set up for about 20 minutes or until firm.
For chocolate layer:
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between intervals, until melted and smooth.
- Add a heaping teaspoon on top of caramel, followed by a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature before enjoying. EPIC!!
Notes
- Strategically place the Twix: If you notice a chunk of Twix candy exposed towards the bottom of the cookie dough ball prior to baking, try to move it to the top, or roll it into the cookie dough ball so it doesn't ooze out on the baking sheet.
- Freeze the Twix: In my recipe testing I found that folding in frozen Twix pieces creates a better cookie. The pieces hold up better while the cookie bakes so in each bite you'll get ooey-gooey caramel that is wonderfully rich and irresistible. I cut them up into pieces, then freeze while I am making the cookie dough.
- Use a different type of candy bar if you'd like! Snickers comes to mind first. Keep in mind different candies have different fillings than Twix so choose wisely!
