TWIX COOKIES RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups softened butter
1 cup powdered sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
15 oz caramel **See notes
2 cups milk choc chips
2 tsp shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Cream butter and sugar together. Add your vanilla, flour and salt. Mix well.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to ½ inch thick.
• To cut cookies you can use a biscuit cutter or I just used a small glass that was 2 inches wide.
• Place round cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 350 for 14-16 minutes.
• Let cookies cool.
• Melt caramel and spread the caramel over the cooled cookies.
• Let caramel cool completely.
• Add your shortening into the chocolate chips and melt in the microwave. Use a microwave safe bowl and watch so that the chocolate does not burn.
• Spread melted chocolate over cooled caramel.
• Let chocolate set before serving.
• Do not put in the refrigerator as it will discolor the chocolate.

NOTES

I use Peter's caramel which comes in a 5 lb block. You can just cut off what you need, melt it and it's ready to go. If you use the Kraft caramels, follow the instructions on the bag for melting.
