Thumbprint Cookies with the Classic Twix Candy Bar Flavors!
It’s getting to be that time of year, where there seems to be an endless supply of cookies coming from every direction – or maybe that’s just me because I make ridiculous amounts of cookies during the holidays! But no one is complaining around here. I’ve made a chocolate version of these cookies but I wanted to go with a traditional vanilla version – and they will remind you so much of a Twix candy bar! What’s not to love here? Melt in your mouth shortbread style cookie, chewy caramel center with a hint of sea salt, and a finishing touch of luscious chocolate, they are simply dreamy! Be sure to try them at least once during the holidays, you won’t regret it!
Ingredients for Twix Thumbprints
All-purpose flour Salt Unsalted butter Granulated sugar Egg yolks Vanilla Soft caramels Heavy cream Milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate Sea salt flakes (optional)
How to Make Twix Flavored Thumbprint Cookies
Make the cookie dough. Roll dough into balls and make indentation. Chill. Preheat oven. Bake cookies until set. Re-indent cookies and let cool. Melt caramel with cream and fill centers of cookies. Drizzle with melted chocolate, sprinkle with sea salt. Let chocolate set.
Try Dipping In Chocolate
If you want to take it one step further you can double the amount of chocolate and instead of using chocolate chips use good quality chopped chocolate, temper it and dip the bottoms of the cookies before you drizzle the tops! It’s what I would have liked to do with these but I just didn’t have enough time. No matter though, they were still totally decadent and delicious! And yes of course you don’t find gourmet flakes of Maldon sea salt on top of a Twix – but they should totally start adding it, don’t you think? I added it and it gave them that totally irresistible salted caramel flavor we all crave. Total Twix upgrade! I’ve always loved those candy bars so these cookies have my name all over them and they’ll likely become a holiday tradition for me.
