Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Filling & Topping
- Caramel Sauce or Soft Caramels (about 1 tablespoon per cup)
- Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate (about 1 tablespoon per cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms.
- Form the Cookie Cups: Press the cookie dough evenly into greased muffin tins, creating small wells in the center of each cup to hold the layers of caramel and chocolate later on.
- Bake the Cookie Shells: Bake the cookie shells in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly, leaving them in the muffin tin.
- Add the Caramel Layer: Place a spoonful of caramel sauce or soft caramel candies into each cookie well. Gently press the caramel to spread it evenly without overflowing the edges.
- Top with Chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped chocolate over the warm caramel layer so it melts slightly, creating a smooth, glossy chocolate topping.
- Chill and Set: Transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden. Once set, carefully remove the Twix Cookie Cups from the tin and serve.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easier creaming.
- Ensure not to overfill the cookie cups to avoid caramel overflow.
- Chilling is essential for the chocolate to set properly.
- You can substitute the caramel with store-bought caramel sauce for convenience.
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or grease well to remove cookie cups easily.
