Equipment Needed to Make Twix Cookie Dough Bars:

• 8 x 8 Baking Dish
• Parchment paper for baking dish

Ingredients:

Cookie Layer

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup white granulated sugar
• ⅔ cup unsalted butter
• 1 tube of chocolate chip cookie dough

Caramel Layer

• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup

Chocolate Layer

• 2 cups chocolate chips, melted

Directions

Shortbread/Cookie Layer:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a parchment-covered 8×8 baking dish.
2. In a bowl whisk together the flour and sugar. Add the softened butter and use a fork to blend thoroughly.
3. Pour this mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly, pressing into the bottom of the pan.
4. Take the chocolate chip cookie dough and create a layer on top of the shortbread crust. Cut the cookie dough into chunks and press into the pan evenly.
5. Place in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. The cookie dough layer may still look slightly undone, but that is how you want it.

Caramel Layer

1. While this cools, place the brown sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium and let melt while stirring every couple minutes.
2. Once completely melted, add the butter and sweetened condensed milk.
3. Stir continuously as the mixture melts together. It will seem a bit separated, but continue stirring until the bubbling caramel has formed.
4. Pour this layer on top of the cookie dough layer. Spread evenly using a rubber spatula or spoon. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Chocolate Layer

1. About 5 minutes before taking out of the fridge, heat the chocolate chips in the microwave at 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. Add a teaspoon of oil to melt the chocolate thinner.
2. The caramel should be firm enough so the chocolate does not mix and combine with the caramel layer. Pour the melted chocolate on top. Spread evenly and place back in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut square bars of this dessert. If you are picky, cut the edges off for a clean look on every Twix cookie dough bar.

Tips:

• Store any leftover bars in an airtight container for up to 5 days, placing a piece of parchment paper between stacked bars.
• Finished bars can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Variations:

• Try white chocolate chips for the chocolate layer.
• You can also chop up Twix candy bars and press them in the top of the cookie dough layer before baking for an added layer of Twix goodness!
