Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup caramel dip
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Combine butter, powdered sugar and flour in a large bowl using an electric mixer.
  • The dough will resemble coarse sand. Turn the mixer off and form the dough into a ball with your hands. What first looked like coarse sand will end up forming a beautiful dough.
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface. Dough should be about 1/2″ thick.
  • Cut out into small circles and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Twix Topping

  • Melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat an additional 30 seconds. Stir until chocolate chips have melted completely and are smooth.
  • Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel dip over each cookie. Spread smooth.
  • Spoon about a teaspoon of melted chocolate over each cookie. Spread smooth.
  • Refrigerate cookies 20-30 minutes or until chocolate firms up.

Notes

Store cookies at room temperature.
Can also use melted caramel candy to make these cookies. Add a splash of heavy whipping cream to melted candy and stir until smooth and spreadable.
