How to Make Decadent Twix Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough to a thickness of about ¼-1/2 inch, cut shapes with your favorite cookie cutter, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel bits with heavy cream and microwave in bursts until smooth. Spoon over cooled cookies.
- Melt the milk chocolate chips with coconut oil and pour over the caramel layer, spreading evenly. Allow cookies to cool completely to set.
Notes
For an elevated flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer.
