Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (111g) salted butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Carmel Layer

  • 20 caramels, unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp milk

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the cookie dough.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, use a stand mixer with a flex edge beater to cream together the 1/2 cup salted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg white and vanilla: Mix in 1 egg white and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder to the wet mixture and mix thoroughly to form a soft dough.
  5. Roll and cut dough: Roll out the dough to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut into circles and transfer the circles onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  6. Bake cookie crusts: Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until the cookies are puffy and no longer glossy. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare caramel sauce: While cookies cool, microwave 20 unwrapped caramels with 1 tbsp milk for 1 minute, stirring halfway through at 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy.
  8. Apply caramel layer: Spoon a few teaspoons of caramel onto each cooled cookie and spread to almost cover the surface.
  9. Chill cookies: Place the caramel-topped cookies in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes or until the caramel is completely cold and set.
  10. Melt chocolate: Microwave 2 cups milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  11. Add chocolate topping: Spread a small amount of melted chocolate over the caramel layer on each cookie cup.
  12. Set chocolate layer: Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving your delicious Twix Cookie Cups.

Notes

  • Ensure cookies have fully cooled before adding caramel to prevent the caramel from melting too much and becoming runny.
  • Use an ungreased pan for baking to help cookies hold their shape better.
  • Microwaving chocolate in short intervals prevents burning and ensures smooth melting.
  • Store finished cookie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
  • For easier caramel spreading, warm the caramel slightly to keep it soft but not hot.
