Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Caramel Layer

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate bars

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by mixing the room temperature butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well. Slowly fold in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until the dough forms. Press the mixture evenly into a lined baking pan to create a smooth cookie base ready for baking.
  2. Bake Until Golden: Bake the cookie base at 350°F (175°C) for about 18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown but the center remains slightly soft. This ensures a crunchy yet chewy texture perfect for holding caramel and chocolate layers.
  3. Add the Caramel Layer: After the cookie base cools slightly, spread a generous, even layer of caramel sauce over the top to provide that gooey, buttery caramel bliss characteristic of Twix Cookies.
  4. Coat with Chocolate: Gently melt the milk chocolate and pour it over the caramel layer, spreading smoothly to cover completely. Refrigerate the assembled bars until the chocolate sets firmly, locking in all textures and flavors.
  5. Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled and set, remove the block from the pan and cut into bars or bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to cream sugars evenly for a smooth dough.
  • Do not overbake the cookie base; edges should be golden while center remains slightly soft.
  • Warm caramel gently if too thick for easy spreading.
  • Cool melted chocolate before setting to avoid cracking.
  • Refrigerate before cutting for clean slices.
