TWIX THUMBPRINT COOKIES Recipes

I have been baking up a storm. My kitchen usually looks like a tornado with both of my kitchenaids being used. It’s all worth it because I think that I have found my FAVORITE cookie to date! If you are a lover of Twix, then these cute little cookies were made just for you!

These cookies started as a salted caramel thumbprint. But when I had my first bite, they reminded me so much of a Twix Bar! The buttery shortbread base and a chewy caramel center. They were just missing one thing. Chocolate. I drizzled that chocolate on as fast as I could and viola! A Twix Thumbprint Cookie.

INGREDIENTS
Shortbread Layer:

• ⅔ cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 Eggs (yolks only)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

Caramel Filling:

• 14 soft caramel candies (like Kraft Caramels)
• 3 T. heavy cream

Chocolate Drizzle:

• 6 ounce milk chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the shortbread layer: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, combine ⅔ cup butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour; beat at low speed until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb or end of wooden spoon handle. Bake 7-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely.
