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

Caramel Layer

  • 20 caramels (unwrapped)
  • 1 tbsp milk

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the cookies.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the salted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which provides a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add egg white and vanilla: Mix in the egg white and vanilla extract until well combined, ensuring the dough is smooth and cohesive.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until all are fully combined to form the dough.
  5. Shape the cookies: Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles, then transfer them onto an ungreased baking pan.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies are puffy and no longer glossy. This ensures a soft yet slightly firm cookie base.
  7. Cool the cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before adding the toppings to prevent melting.
  8. Prepare caramel layer: While the cookies cool, microwave the unwrapped caramels and milk for 1 minute, stirring at the 30-second mark. Continue stirring until the caramel mixture is smooth and creamy.
  9. Apply caramel: Spoon a few teaspoons of the warm caramel onto each cooled cookie. Spread it evenly until it almost covers the cookie’s surface for a luscious layer.
  10. Chill cookies: Place the cookies with caramel in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, or until the caramel is completely cold and set.
  11. Melt chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  12. Top with chocolate: Spread a small amount of melted chocolate over each cookie, covering the caramel. Allow the chocolate to cool and set before serving to ensure it hardens into a delicious topping.

Notes

  • Use ungreased pans to help cookies hold their shape.
  • Make sure cookies are completely cooled before adding caramel to prevent melting and spreading.
  • Microwave chocolate in short intervals to avoid burning.
  • Store the Twix Cookie Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a firmer caramel layer, allow even longer chilling time.
