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 Topping

  • 20 caramels, unwrapped
  • 1 tbsp milk

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 cups (400g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the cookie bases.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup salted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which will give the cookie a tender texture.
  3. Add Egg White and Vanilla: Mix in 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined, enhancing the flavor and structure.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until you have a smooth dough.
  5. Roll and Cut Dough: Roll the dough out on a flat surface until it is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles and place them onto an ungreased baking pan.
  6. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookie rounds in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cookies puff up and lose their glossy appearance, indicating they are done.
  7. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to ensure they hold their shape when topped.
  8. Melt Caramel: While the cookies cool, microwave the 20 unwrapped caramels with 1 tablespoon of milk for 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds until the caramel is smooth and creamy.
  9. Apply Caramel: Spoon a few teaspoons of the melted caramel onto each cooled cookie, spreading it to almost cover the cookie’s surface.
  10. Chill Cookies: Place the caramel-topped cookies into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the caramel is fully set and cold.
  11. Melt Chocolate Chips: Microwave the 2 cups of milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  12. Top with Chocolate: Spread a thin layer of the melted chocolate over the caramel on each cookie. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving to complete your Twix Cookie Cups.

Notes

  • Use an ungreased baking pan as the butter in the dough will prevent sticking.
  • Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before adding caramel to avoid melting.
  • Microwave the caramel and chocolate in short intervals, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Store completed cookie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a twist, try using dark or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate chips.
