Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread a layer of caramel over each cooled shortbread cookie. Place cookies in the refrigerator to set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the top of each caramel-coated cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the cookies back on the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
- Once the chocolate has set, enjoy your delicious Twix Cookies!
