Sweet Temptation: You’ll Love These Homemade Twix Cookies!

You’re not supposed to play with food – but sometimes it’s fun to enjoy sweets in a different way than intended. Who hasn’t shaped a piece of Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape into a snail, or eaten the cookie layers first and then the chocolate center of a chocolate cookie?

For today’s recipe, we’ve cheekily repurposed Twix – but the result is simply delicious, we promise!

What you need

For the cookie dough

8 oz butter
3,5 oz cream cheese, softened
7 oz sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
7 oz flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the caramel

40 caramel cubes
2 tablespoons of cream

For the chocolate ganache

5 oz chocolate chips
1/4 cup whipped cream

And here’s how

Preheat the oven to 350°F, meanwhile line three baking sheets with parchment paper.

Beat butter and cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, about 3 minutes.

Add sugar, egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Pour the contents of one bowl into the other and beat for about 30 seconds until everything is well blended.

Using a measuring spoon or similar, scoop out 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough at a time, then roll into a ball and then shape into a patty.

Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, the cookies should be just slightly brown around the edges.

For the caramel cream, place the 40 caramels in a medium glass bowl with 2 tablespoons of cream and microwave for 30 seconds, then remove from microwave and stir. Then microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until the caramels are completely melted.

Spoon a half tablespoon of caramel onto the top of each cookie.

To make the ganache, heat the cream in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, then immediately add the milk chocolate chips to the cream. Let sit for 5 minutes before stirring.

Stir the chocolate chips into the cream to completely melt the chocolate. Spoon half a tablespoon of the melted chocolate onto each cookie.

Place the cookies in the refrigerator to harden.
