Twix Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup soft caramel candies, unwrapped
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup chocolate chips for drizzling
• Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the soft caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie and spoon melted caramel into each indentation.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
11. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
12. Once cooled, melt the additional chocolate chips and drizzle over the cookies. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
