Ingredients
1package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1bag caramel bits
1bag milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven according to the sugar cookie package directions.
Step 2
Bake the sugar cookies until the edges are lightly golden. Unlike soft bakery cookies, these should have a slight crunch to mimic the cookie layer in a Twix bar.
Step 3
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, use the bottom of a ¼-cup measuring cup or small glass to gently press a shallow indentation into the center of each cookie.
Allow the cookies to cool completely.
Step 4
Place the caramel bits and 1–2 tablespoons of water in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the caramel is smooth.
Step 5
Spoon a generous dollop of caramel into the center of each cookie. If needed, gently shake the cookie so the caramel spreads evenly.
Allow the caramel to cool for several minutes.
Step 6
Place the chocolate chips into another microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Step 7
Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer.
Gently tap or shake each cookie so the chocolate spreads across the caramel.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
