How to Make Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies

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)

Equipments Needed

• Oven
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Baking scoop or spoon
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler for melting chocolate

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Using a baking scoop or spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space the cookies apart.
6. Create an indent in the center of each cookie for the caramel.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
8. Let the cookies cool slightly before filling the indents with caramel sauce.
9. Melt the chocolate chips until smooth, then drizzle over the filled cookies.
10. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
