Instructions
MAKE COOKIE BASE:
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars with handheld beaters until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix on low speed until combined. Note that the dough will be very crumbly.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and form and knead each piece into a ball until it comes together.
Cover each ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
PREP OVEN AND COOKIE SHEET:
Meanwhile, move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
BAKE AND COOL COOKIES:
Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes or until the edges start to become golden brown.
Cool the cookies for 5 minutes and then transfer the cookies to a wire to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
MAKE TOPPINGS:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and evaporated milk.
Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Again, stir after each interval.
TO FINISH:
Spread a spoonful of caramel on top of each cookie.
Let sit for 5 minutes.
Carefully spoon on a spoonful of chocolate and lightly spread it over the caramel.
Top each cookie with half of a Twix.
Let the chocolate set until the chocolate is hardened, about 5 minutes.
Serve!
Notes
Make sure you refrigerate the cookies before baking them to keep them chewy, don’t skip this step!
