Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

100 grams (1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
175 grams (1 and 1/4 cup) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
120 ml (1/2 cup) caramel sauce (homemade or store bought)
100 grams (2/3 cup) milk chocolate

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugars and beat with an electric mixer until combined. Add vanilla and egg and beat until mixture is creamy and smooth.
  • Sift in flour and baking soda and stir using a wooden spoon or spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and chill cookie dough for AT LEAST 1 hour.
  • Grease a mini muffin tin with butter or a quick spray of cooking oil and set aside. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.
  • Using your hands, roll level tablespoons of dough into small balls and place each one into mini muffin tin. Continue until you run out of dough and have filled approximately 20 mini muffin holes.
  • Gently press down so the dough fills the cavity and has a flat top. Then grab a rolling pin dusted with flour and press down and twist on top of the dough to create a hole or cavity in the middle of each cookie.
  • Place tray in the oven for approximately 8-10 minutes or until cookies turn golden brown. At this point, the cookies will have puffed up quite a bit, so grab your rolling pin again and very gently reinforce the hole in the middle of each cookie. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Then gently remove the cookies from the tray and place them onto a wire rack to cool. It's ok if the cookies appear really soft, especially in the middle, as they will firm up when they cool.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, spoon a teaspoon of caramel sauce into each one. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and then spoon a teaspoon of chocolate over the caramel. Leave chocolate to set.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

16.5 ounces pre-made refrigerated sugar cookie dough (468 grams (1 package) - SEE NOTE)
2 cups caramel bits (312 grams)
1-2 tablespoons water (14-28 grams)
2 cups milk chocolate chips (340 grams)
Sea salt (optional, for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray a cupcake tin. Set aside.
  • Slice about ½-inch rounds of cookie dough. Using your fingers, take each slice and push it into the bottom and up the sides of each cupcake mold. You'll want to press firmly to make sure its adhered to all sides.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden. Depending on your oven, it could take more or less, so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.
  • Take out of the oven and create a cup by pushing the end of a shot glass into each cupcake cup (you could also use the bottom of a spice jar or wooden spoon. you just need to push the middle of each cookie back down to create a "cup")
  • Allow to cool slightly, then, using a butter knife, carefully take each cookie out of the cupcake tin.
  • Heat the caramel with the water in a microwave. (use more or less water depending on the consistency of the caramel) Heat in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring between heating. It should take 2-3 times to be fully melted and creamy. Fill each cookie cup ⅔ full with caramel.
  • Place cookies in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the caramel. While caramel is setting, melt chocolate in the microwave, again, in intervals of 30 seconds.
  • Take cookies out of refrigerator and pour the chocolate to the top of each cookie. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Cool cookies in the refrigerator for about another 20 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure your Twix Sugar Cookie Cups are perfectly golden brown and not overcooked, keep a close eye on them during baking. The edges of the cups should just begin to brown when they are done.
  • For a neater appearance, trim the edges of the cookie cups once they have cooled completely. This will help to remove any uneven or ragged edges.
  • If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin and simply fill each cup with a smaller amount of cookie dough. The baking time may need to be adjusted slightly, so keep an eye on the cups as they bake.
  • Feel free to get creative with your Twix Sugar Cookie Cups! You can drizzle them with melted chocolate, sprinkle them with chopped nuts or candy, or even add a scoop of ice cream for a delicious dessert.

Conclusion:

These Twix Sugar Cookie Cups are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookie cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
