Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Twix Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the salted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the egg white and vanilla extract, blending until fully combined.
  4. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and baking powder until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Roll out the dough to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and cut out circles using a round cookie cutter.
  6. Place cookie rounds onto lined baking sheets and bake for 6-8 minutes until puffed and no longer glossy.
  7. As the cookies cool, melt the unwrapped caramels with a splash of milk in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  8. Once cookies are cool, spoon a dollop of melted caramel onto each cookie base and spread to the edges.
  9. Refrigerate the cookie cups for 10-15 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
  10. Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, then pour over the caramel layer on each cookie, spreading evenly.
  11. Allow the Twix Cookies to cool at room temperature until the chocolate has set, about 15-20 minutes.
  12. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming. Let cookies cool before adding caramel to prevent melting.
