Twix Cookies
Description
The cookie dough is made by creaming softened unsalted butter with powdered sugar, vanilla, flour, and salt, then rolled to a half-inch thickness and cut into small circles. Baking until lightly golden provides a sturdy but tender cookie base. A caramel layer made from heated bagged caramel and evaporated milk is spooned over the cooled cookies, setting into a soft, sweet layer.
Finally, a chocolate layer from melted chocolate wafers is spread over the caramel and allowed to solidify, creating a crisp top layer. These three components mimic the textures and flavor profile of a Twix bar in cookie form. The treats are best when the chocolate is fully set and the cookies cooled.
The recipe requires careful heating of caramel and chocolate to prevent burning. Cooling between steps helps maintain clean layers. These cookies offer a rich, sweet indulgence with buttery, caramel, and chocolaty notes combined in single bites.
