Ingredients

To make your own batch of Twix Thumbprint Cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter: Softened butter provides a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture and flavor.
• ¾ cup granulated sugar: The sugar sweetens the dough and helps give the cookies a light, crisp texture.
• 2 large egg yolks: The egg yolks give the cookies richness and help with binding the dough.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the butter and caramel.
• 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour: This is the main structure of the cookie dough, providing the right balance of texture and crumbliness.
• For the filling:
  • Caramel sauce: Use a store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for a rich, gooey filling.
  • Chocolate for drizzling: Melted chocolate, either milk or dark, to drizzle on top for that signature Twix finish.
