Twix Cookie Cups are a delicious homemade version of the classic candy bar, featuring a soft sugar cookie base, gooey caramel, and a smooth milk chocolate topping.

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg white

1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

20 unwrapped caramels

1 tbsp milk (whole milk works best)

2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg white and vanilla, mixing until fully combined. Stir in flour and baking powder until smooth.
  3. Shape the Cookies: Roll dough between ¼ to ½ inch thick. Use a 2½ inch round cookie cutter to cut circles and place on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 6–8 minutes until the cookies puff up and lose their glossy sheen. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  5. Prepare the Caramel: Microwave unwrapped caramels and milk in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, stirring halfway. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the Caramel Layer: Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel onto each cooled cookie, spreading nearly to the edges. Chill for 10–15 minutes to let the caramel set.
  7. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth and completely melted.
  8. Top with Chocolate: Spread melted chocolate over the caramel on each cookie. Chill until the chocolate hardens.
  9. Ready to Serve: Once the chocolate is set, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use whole milk for a creamier caramel.

For added texture, sprinkle crushed cookie crumbs or sea salt on top of the chocolate.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge if your kitchen is warm.
