Total Time: 42 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle or spread a generous amount of caramel sauce over the top of each cookie.
- Optional: For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the caramel sauce while it's still warm.
- Allow the caramel to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Twix Cookies!
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this is crucial for achieving the perfect cookie texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for more consistent mixing and better cookie structure.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely before adding caramel to prevent immediate absorption and maintain the sauce's glossy appearance.
- For extra richness, consider using high-quality chocolate chips and caramel sauce.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture and prevent them from drying out.
- If the caramel is too thick, warm it slightly for easier drizzling.
