Twix Cookies
These easy Twix cookies are the simplest way to make a copycat of the addicting candy bar. Crunchy shortbread is topped with caramel and milk chocolate and mimics a Twix perfectly.

Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt
- 1 10-oz. jar caramel
- 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using an electric mixer), beat butter and powdered sugar on medium-high speed until creamy. Add vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add flour and salt and beat on medium-low speed until just combined.
- Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and knead a few times until dough holds together. Form into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Let dough sit at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4" thick. Using a 2 1/2" round cookie cutter, cut out rounds and arrange on prepared baking sheets. Reroll scraps to cut out more rounds (you should have about 24).
- Bake cookies until edges are golden and centers are just set, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets.
- Spoon some caramel into center of cookies and spread in an even layer, leaving a small border of cookie. Refrigerate until tops are hardened, about 10 minutes.
- In a small heatproof bowl, microwave chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Spread chocolate in center of caramel, leaving edges of caramel visible. Refrigerate until chocolate is hardened, at least 30 minutes.
- Make Ahead: Cookies can be made 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
