Ingredients – What You Need

Dry Ingredients

All-Purpose Flour:

You’ll need 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour for the base of your cookies. I use all-purpose flour because it gives the cookies a nice, fluffy texture. Plus, it’s so readily available, so yea…

Granulated Sugar:

To sweeten your Twix Thumbprint Cookies, you’ll need 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. You can use either white or brown sugar, so feel free to play around with it.

Salt:

Just a tad bit is enough, so take 1/4 teaspoon. Don’t add too much because your Twix bars already have a slight touch of saltiness to them.

Caramel Candies:

These are the star of the show! Use 16 caramel candies and add a little extra for serving.

Chocolate Chips:

Milk chocolate chips pair best with Twix, so use 1/4 cup. If you prefer dark chocolate, go ahead and use that too.

Wet Ingredients

Heavy Cream:

What did you think you were making your caramel sauce with? Heavy cream, of course! Use three tablespoons of heavy cream for this recipe.

Unsalted Butter:

Use 2/3 cup of softened unsalted butter. It’s best if you do it at room temperature, but if you’re in a hurry, you can use the microwave to soften it.

Vanilla Extract:

Of course, my dearest, you’ll need some liquid goodness to make your cookies taste oh-so-delicious. Start with one teaspoon of vanilla extract and add more if you want. Not too much, though. It can give your cookies a bitter taste.

Coconut Oil:

You will need coconut oil to help make the chocolate sauce smoother. Use 1/2 teaspoon of melted coconut oil and mix it in with your chocolate chips.

Tips for Baking Yummy Twix Thumbprint Cookies:

·      Chill the dough in the fridge for 1 hour; it’ll help maintain the shape of your cookies!

·      Use a teaspoon to scoop the dough onto your baking sheet; it will keep them all equal in size

·      If you don’t have caramels and heavy cream on hand, you can use store-bought caramel sauce instead.

·      Chop up Twix candy bars and sprinkle them over the cookies for a little extra crunch.

·      These shortbread cookies keep well in an airtight container, so you can enjoy them for up to one week!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Cookies Should I Make?

I Don’t Have Parchment Paper; What Can I Use?

Parchment paper is great for baking cookies, but don’t worry if you don’t have any. You can use a silicone baking mat or lightly grease your baking sheet with some butter or oil.

How to Bake Tasty Twix Thumbprint Cookies?

When you’re ready to bake these easy Twix cookies, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream unsalted butter with sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla. Now, stir in all-purpose flour and mix till you have a nice cookie dough ready to be ravished.

Next, use a cookie scoop to scoop out 1-inch balls of cookie dough. Roll them into round balls, and place them on your prepared cookie sheets.

Use the end of the wooden spoon handle to press a hole in the center of each cookie. Pop them in the oven and let them bake for 7-10 minutes, and cool on the wire rack.

Now, spoon the melted caramel into the holes in the cookies. Prepare your chocolate drizzle and go haywire with it. Sprinkle chopped Twix candy bars over the caramel and let it cool before serving.
