Twix Thumbprint Cookies

So Twix Thumbprint Cookies exist and they’re actually pretty easy to make. Yes, seriously! Beautifully crumbly biscuit filled with chewy caramel, finished off with a generous drizzling of milk chocolate… Who needs the real deal when you can make better yourself?! I do warn though, these beauties are hazardous to your waistline. (Trust me, you’re not just having one!)

Here is what you will need to make 22-24

For the Caramel

55g Unsalted Butter
100g Light Brown Soft Sugar
55g Honey
1 tbsp Double Cream

For the Biscuit

115g Unsalted Butter, room temp
65g Icing Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
160g Plain Flour

For the Drizzle

100g Milk Chocolate

To make the caramel, melt together the butter, sugar, honey & cream.

Bring to a rolling boil then keep boiling for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Allow to cool whilst we make the biscuits.

Preheat your oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C.

To make the biscuit, in an electric stand mixer or a large bowl with an electric hand whisk, beat together the butter, icing sugar, salt & vanilla until light and fluffy.

Scrape down the bowl then sift in the flour and beat until it forms a smooth, soft dough.

Scoop out teaspoon sized portions of the dough and roll into balls. Place them spaced apart on a large baking tray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

As soon as they come out the oven, using the rounded handle of a kitchen utensil, press indents into the middle of each cookie.

Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

When the caramel has cooled, pour it into a piping bag or plastic zip lock back. Snip the end and squeeze caramel into the indents of each cookie.

Break the chocolate into a bowl then heat in 10 second intervals in the microwave. Stir well between each blast. When it’s completely melted, pour into a piping bag/zip lock bag.

Place some newspaper or paper underneath the cooling rack, snip the end of the piping bag/zip lock bag and drizzle the chocolate over each cookie.

Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature then store in an airtight container at room temperature. Consume within 4-5 days.

Aren’t they beautiful?? Twix Thumbprint Cookies have been possibly the most quickly disappearing cookie to ever grace the KitchenMason household! They really are moreish though, I mean seriously! I’ve had 2 occasions in 1 day where I’ve had to stop myself reaching for a 5th cookie. Probably not the greatest health choice I’ve made in a while but hey, one of the tastiest!

I hope you enjoyed the post my lovelies, until next time.
