If you love the candy bar, then you’ve got to try this amazing recipe for Twix Cookies! Chocolate-dipped and caramel-filled and SO delicious!
Twix Thumbprint Cookies
Everyone has their favorite candy bars, and Twix is one of mine. As I’ve gotten older and wiser, I usually prefer more grown-up treats, but something about Twix candy bars just gets me every time!
Sometimes I can’t resist grabbing one when I’m in the checkout line at the grocery store!
These Twix cookies are a delicious spin on that candy bar classic – they taste just like the real thing, but maybe even better because they’re homemade!
Here’s the scoop: you start with shortbread thumbprint cookies, dip them in rich dark chocolate, and fill them to the brim with smooth caramel.
Sounds good? Thought so! Let’s get baking!

- 3 sticks of Butter – softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 3 1/2 cups of flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 jar of caramel topping or 1 cup caramel squares (melted)

- Cookie sheet
- Wire cooling rack
- Non-stick silicone baking mats
- Medium cookie scooper
- Wire whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
How to Make Twix Cookies
Cream softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla and continue mixing.
In another mixing bowl whisk together flour and salt. Slowly pour your dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you go, until you have a fluffy batter.
Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
Take the dough out and roll into Tablespoon size balls, placing them on a parchment lined cookie sheet. We also love these Non-stick silicone baking mats because cookies pop right off them and you can wash and reuse over and over!
TIP: A cookie scoop makes it a breeze to portion out even balls of dough.
Gently press down in the center of each cookie with your thumb to make an indentation.
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies begin to turn a light golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Melt chocolate in the microwave using a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15-20 seconds until smooth. Dip the bottom of each cookie in the chocolate, and place them chocolate-side-up on a cookie sheet until chocolate is hard.
Place a teaspoonful of melted caramel in the center of each cookie.
Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a plastic pastry bag. Cut the tip off the bag and drizzle on top of cookies.
Allow cookies to cool completely, so the caramel and chocolate sets. Enjoy!
