These buttery, caramel-studded cookie cups deliver a nostalgic Twix flavor in every bite, making them perfect for parties or late-night cravings.
Ingredients
For the cookie cups
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Use fresh flour and measure correctly to avoid dense cookies.
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened Use high-quality unsalted butter for best flavor.
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Light or dark brown sugar works; dark has a richer flavor.
- 1 large Egg Ensure it’s at room temperature for better incorporation.
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For the filling

Instructions
Preparation
- Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined but not overbeating.
- Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into greased muffin tins, creating small wells in the center.

- Remove from the oven and cool slightly in the muffin tin.
Filling
- Place a spoonful of caramel sauce or melted caramels into each cookie well.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped chocolate over the caramel, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Chill the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
