Ingredient Notes

Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

• Unsalted butter- You will cook some of this into brown butter before using it. Start early enough to cool it down. Leave the rest on the counter for 2 hours before baking to get to room temperature.
• Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar for this, but dark brown sugar will work as well.
• Eggs- Pull these out 2 hours before baking to get room temperature ingredients.
• Chocolate chips- I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate chips can work, but I do not recommend milk chocolate chips as they will be too sweet.
• Twix- This recipe uses about 5oz of fun sized Twix. If you use a larger size then be sure they are cut small enough pieces still.
• Soft caramels- I used Werther’s soft caramels. Other brands can work as well, but make sure to use soft caramels, not hard caramels.

Step By Step Instructions

Here is how to make and bake these Twix cookies.

STEP 1: Make brown butter. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Let it melt, then stir as it heats until milk deposits separate. Once the deposits turn amber in color pour the butter into a bowl and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.

STEP 2: Dry ingredients. Mix the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Set aside, then chop the Twix bars into small pieces making sure there are enough for the cookie dough and tops of the cookies.

STEP 3: Beat butter and sugar. Use a mixer to beat the softened butter, brown butter, brown sugar, and sugar on high speed for 2 minutes.

STEP 4: Combine. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until they are just combined. Then, add the chocolate chips and Twix pieces.

STEP 5: Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with sheets of parchment paper. Let the cookie dough rest for 10 minutes before scooping. Use a large cookie scoop (2TBSP or 2 oz) to scoop 6 cookie dough balls per baking sheet.

STEP 6: Bake. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes. They are done when the edges are lightly golden brown. Meanwhile, chop the soft caramels.

STEP 7: Top cookies. Immediately after taking the cookies out place the soft caramels, chopped Twix and chocolate chips on top of the cookies. Use a knife to trim any leaked caramel from the edge of the cookie.

STEP 8: Cool. Let the cookies sit in the hot pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Expert Baking Tips

• Properly measure your flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup directly into the flour, it will compact the flour giving you too much flour. Compacted flour can cause the cookies to not spread.
• If the cookies are spreading too much, make sure you are using parchment paper on the cookie sheet. If they are still spreading too much this could be the butter was too warm before adding the ingredients. If it still spreads too much, you chill the cookie dough balls for 10-15 minutes.
• If you live at high altitude, add an extra 2 Tablespoons of flour. This will help with the spread.
• The cookies should be slightly underdone at first, because they will continue to cook as they cool. This helps to make sure they have chewy centers.
