Twix Cookie Cups

Buttery shortbread cookie cups filled with soft caramel and topped with smooth melted milk chocolate, finished with a touch of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet and salty bite.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookie cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (240 grams) soft caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (170 grams) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
  2. Cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Divide dough evenly among muffin cups and press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides to form cups.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  6. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt caramel candies with heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
  7. Spoon melted caramel evenly into each cooled cookie cup.
  8. Melt milk chocolate chips in short intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth, then spoon over the caramel layer.
  9. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired and allow chocolate to set before removing from the tin.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookie base to keep it tender.
  • Allow caramel to cool slightly before adding chocolate to keep layers distinct.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
