Twix Cookie Cups
The classic candy is now a delicious & easy to make cookie cup. These sugar cookies are filled with gooey chewy caramel & drenches in rich chocolate. All you need is 3 ingredients & a muffin tin to make these bite-sized desserts.
Equipment
- mini muffin pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 tube ready-made sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 Kraft caramels
- flaky sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Cut thin strips of parchment paper & lay one down in each hole of your mini muffin tin.
- Remove the wrapping from the caramels, set them aside.
- Scoop & roll a cookie dough ball (large 1 tablespoon in size) and place it over the parchment paper. Each should be about 1 tablespoons worth of dough. Repeat until all 24 cookies are moved into the mini muffin baking pan. (you will have extra dough)
- Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes. They will be underdone and that is perfect.
- Remove them from the oven and press the warm cookie dough down using a shot glass or tart press so that a cup forms. If there is sticking, spray the tool with cooking spray.
- To each cookie cup, add an unwrapped caramel. Put the cookies with the caramels back in the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven. Using the back of a spoon, gently press and smooth out the soft caramel so it covers the cookie cup bottoms & is evenly distributed. Repeat on all cookies & let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan.
- Grab the parchment edges & lift each cookie cup out of the muffin pan. Place each one on a cooling rack. Let the cookies cool for 20-30 minutes on the counter.
- Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Place in the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir to melt - cook at additional 15-second intervals if needed so all the chocolate is melted.
- Spoon melted chocolate on top of the caramel layer. Sprinkle on sea salt flakes if desired. Repeat with all the cookies. Let cool until set - about 30 minutes in a cool location until the chocolate is set.
- Enjoy when cool to the touch & the chocolate is firm.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 days.
