Ah! You mean a Twix cookie—basically a cookie version of the famous Twix candy bar: crunchy cookie base, caramel layer, and chocolate on top 🍪🍫. Here’s a clear way to make them at home.
Twix Cookies (Homemade)

- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg

- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Caramel Layer
- 1 cup (250 g) caramel bits or soft caramel squares
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Chocolate Topping

Instructions
- Make cookie base
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream butter and sugars until fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla.
- Mix flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually combine.
- Press dough into a greased 9×13-inch pan for bars (or shape into individual cookie rectangles).
- Bake 12–15 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
- Add caramel layer
- Melt caramel with cream in microwave or on stovetop until smooth.
- Spread evenly over the warm cookie base. Let set (refrigerate 10–15 minutes to firm).

- Chill until chocolate is firm, then cut into bars or squares.
Tips
- Use a flat spatula to get smooth layers.

- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or fridge.
