Twix Cookies

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups softened butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 15 oz caramel **See notes
  • 2 cups milk choc chips
  • 2 tsp shortening

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream butter and sugar together. Add your vanilla, flour and salt. Mix well.

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to ½ inch thick.

To cut cookies you can use a biscuit cutter or I just used a small glass that was 2 inches wide.

Place round cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 14-16 minutes.

Let cookies cool.
Melt caramel and spread the caramel over the cooled cookies.
Let caramel cool completely.

Add your shortening into the chocolate chips and melt in the microwave. Use a microwave safe bowl and watch so that the chocolate does not burn.

Spread melted chocolate over cooled caramel.
Let chocolate set before serving.

Notes
I use Peter's caramel which comes in a 5 lb block. You can just cut off what you need, melt it and it's ready to go. If you use the Kraft caramels, follow the instructions on the bag for melting.
