Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ultimate Twix-Style Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until batter is smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, indenting each ball for the caramel layer.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers soft.
  7. Fill each indent with caramel sauce and drizzle melted chocolate on top.
  8. Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
