Twix Cookies
Components:
Regarding the Cookie Base:
- One cup softened unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup of sugar, granulated
- 3/4 cup of dense brown sugar
- One big egg
- One tsp vanilla essence
- 2 1/4 cups flour for all purposes
- One tsp baking soda
- Half a teaspoon of salt
Regarding the Caramel Layer
- One cup of homemade or store-bought caramel sauce
- About 3–4 chopped Twix bars make up 1/2 cup.
Regarding the Chocolate Garnish:
- One cup of chocolate chips, semi-sweet
- Two tablespoons of vegetable oil—optional for a chocolate that goes smoother—
Guidelines:
Warm up the oven:
- Adjust the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and place parchment paper on a baking pan.
Prepare the Dough for the Cookies:
- Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter until frothy and light in a big basin.
- Blend the egg and vanilla essence until thoroughly blended.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Mixing until just incorporated, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones.
Prepare the Cookies for Baking:
- Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet in tablespoon-sized portions, about 2 inches apart. Gently press them down with your hand’s palm.
- Bake for ten to twelve minutes, until a light golden colour appears around the edges. Take them out of the oven and allow them rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then move them to a wire rack to cool down entirely.
Layer on the Caramel:
- After the cookies cool fully, spread or drizzle each one with a tablespoon or so of caramel sauce. Over the caramel layer, scatter the chopped Twix bars.
Prepare the Chocolate Garnish:
- Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe basin, stirring in between, until smooth. For a smoother consistency, mix in the vegetable oil, if using.
- With a fork or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
Assemble and Present:
- Let the chocolate solidify before presenting it. If you would want the cookies to harden faster, you can put them in the refrigerator.
Advice:
- Add some crumbled pretzels or nuts to the caramel layer for an added crunch.
- You may taste and modify the amount of chocolate and caramel to your preferred consistency and flavour!
