Delicious Twix-Inspired Cookie Cups

These cookie cups are made with a rich chocolate chip cookie base, filled with a gooey caramel center, and topped with a sprinkle of chocolate. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 cookie cups.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup caramel candies, unwrapped
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Additional chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Form the Cookie Cups: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into each muffin tin cavity, pressing it down to form a cup shape.
5. Prepare the Caramel Filling: In a small saucepan, heat the caramel candies and heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth and melted.
6. Fill the Cookie Cups: Spoon a small amount of the caramel mixture into each cookie cup, then top with additional cookie dough to cover the caramel.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
8. Add Toppings: Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of the cookie cups and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired.
