Twix cookies are so easy to make. It is a base of a buttery shortbread-like cookie, then with a thumbprint in the middle which is filled with caramel. Once the well of caramel sets, it gets drizzled with melted milk chocolate. If you want to be extra fancy, add some chopped nuts over the top of that. But if you love a classic Twix bar, just keep it plain and enjoy what you have got. Everyone in your family will enjoy it, that is for sure!
It sounds simple, but it is oh, so good!
Ingredients
Shortbread Layer:
⅔ cup Land O’ Lakes Unsalted Butter, softened
½ cup Domino sugar
2 Eggs (yolks only)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1½ cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
Caramel Filling:
14 soft caramel candies (like Kraft Caramels)
3 T. Land O’ Lakes heavy cream
Chocolate Drizzle:
6 ounce Hershey’s milk chocolate chips
Instructions
To make the shortbread layer: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, combine ⅔ cup butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour; beat at low speed until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb or end of wooden spoon handle. Bake 7-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely.
To make the caramel filling: Melt the caramel and heavy cream in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until it is fully melted. Using a teaspoon fill each indentation with the caramel.
To make the chocolate drizzle: Melt the chocolate in the microwave stirring 30 seconds at a time until smooth, and scoop into a ziplock bag. Barely snip the corner and drizzle over the cookies.
