Soft and Chewy Twix Cookies combine a buttery cookie base with creamy caramel and rich chocolate for the ultimate homemade treat. Inspired by the classic candy bar, these layered cookies are soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and absolutely indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 30 soft caramels or 1 cup thick caramel sauce
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (if using caramels)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk or dark chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
  6. Scoop dough into balls (about 1.5 tbsp each), flatten slightly, and place on baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft. Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Melt the caramels with cream in the microwave or on the stove until smooth. Spoon about 1 tsp over each cookie and let it set for 10–15 minutes.
  9. Melt chocolate and spoon or spread over the caramel layer. Let the cookies chill briefly until the chocolate sets.
  10. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, then serve or store.

Notes

  • Use homemade or store-bought caramel, just ensure it’s thick enough to stay on top.
  • No need to chill the dough unless your kitchen is very warm.
  • Cookies can be baked a day ahead; add toppings later.
  • For glossier chocolate, use melting wafers or tempered chocolate.
  • These cookies freeze well after assembly.
