Ultimate Twix Style Cookies Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cookie base to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 5: Once cooled, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the cookie base. If the caramel is too thick to spread easily, warm it gently in the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Step 6: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it evenly to the edges.
Step 7: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm. Use the parchment overhang to lift the slab from the pan, trim the edges if desired, and cut into bars or squares. Store in an airtight container and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate layer before refrigerating to create a salted caramel variation.
You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
Use homemade caramel sauce for a richer taste, or opt for store-bought caramel for convenience.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. If refrigerated, allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. These bars also freeze well; wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
