Twix Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened.
02 - ½ cup powdered sugar.
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
04 - 2 cups all-purpose flour.
05 - ¼ teaspoon salt.
06 - 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped.
07 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
08 - 2 cups milk chocolate chips.
09 - 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Mix in the vanilla extract.
04 - Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
05 - Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
06 - Use a round cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
08 - Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
09 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt caramel candies with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
10 - Spread a layer of caramel over each cooled shortbread cookie.
11 - Place cookies in the refrigerator to set.
12 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
13 - Dip the top of each caramel-coated cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
14 - Place cookies back on the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.

# Notes:

01 - These cookies combine the rich flavors of a Twix bar with the texture of a homemade cookie.
02 - Ensure that the shortbread is fully cooled before adding the caramel layer to prevent melting.
03 - Refrigerating the cookies helps the caramel and chocolate layers set properly.
