Delightful Twix Cookie Cups combining buttery soft cookies with gooey caramel and a smooth milk chocolate topping, perfect for a sweet treat or party dessert.

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 Filling

  • 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) to prepare for baking the cookie base.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup salted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg white and vanilla: Mix in 1 egg white and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a smooth batter.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly to form the cookie dough.
  5. Roll and cut dough: Roll the dough out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles and place them onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  6. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, removing them when they are puffy and no longer glossy.
  7. Cool cookies: Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely to set their shape.
  8. Prepare caramel filling: While cookies cool, microwave 20 unwrapped caramels with 1 tbsp milk for 1 minute, stirring at 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  9. Spread caramel on cookies: Spoon several teaspoons of the warm caramel onto each cookie, spreading it to nearly cover the surface.
  10. Chill caramel layer: Place the caramel-topped cookies in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to cool and set.
  11. Melt chocolate chips: Melt 2 cups milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
  12. Top with chocolate: Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate onto each caramel-topped cookie and allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use an ungreased pan to ensure the cookie cups hold their shape well during baking.
  • Do not overbake the cookies; pull them out when they look puffy and lose their glossy surface to maintain soft centers.
  • Microwaving caramel with milk helps achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  • For a firmer chocolate topping, allow cookies to refrigerate after adding the chocolate layer.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
