Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened: Gives the cookies that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • ¼ cup sugar: Adds the perfect touch of sweetness.
  • ¼ cup brown sugar: Helps keep the cookies soft and chewy.
  • ¼ cup oil: Adds extra moisture so the cookies stay tender.
  • 1 egg: Binds everything together beautifully.
  • 1 tsp vanilla: Gives the cookies that warm, cozy flavor.
  • 2 ¼ cup flour: Forms the perfect soft cookie base.
  • 1 tsp baking powder: Helps the cookies rise just the right amount.
  • ½ tsp salt: Balances all the sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp corn starch: Keeps the cookies soft and thick.
  • ⅓ cup toffee pieces: Adds the best crunchy, buttery surprise in every bite.

For the topping:

  • 8 oz caramel candies, unwrapped: Creates that classic gooey Twix layer.
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream: Makes the caramel silky and smooth.
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, melted: Finishes each cookie with a shiny, chocolatey shell.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. Add the caramel and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each one, until the mixture is completely smooth. Let it cool at room temperature while you bake the cookies.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy.

4. Mix in the oil, egg, and vanilla, scraping down the bowl as needed.

5. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Mix until everything is well combined, scraping the bowl as you go.

6. Fold in the toffee bits.

7. Use a large ice cream scoop to portion the dough and place each scoop on the prepared baking sheets.

8. Flatten each dough ball with the bottom of a glass or measuring cup until it’s about ½ inch thick.

9. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Let the cookies cool completely before assembling.

10. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.

11. Once the cookies have cooled, spoon some caramel onto each one and spread it evenly.

12. Add a layer of melted chocolate over the caramel and spread it out smoothly.

13. If you’d like the topping to firm up quicker, chill the assembled cookies in the fridge or freezer.

Tips for Perfect Copycat Twix Crumbl Cookies

  • Use softened butter: It blends more easily with the sugars and gives the cookies a smooth, creamy texture.

  • Don’t skip the cornstarch: It helps the cookies stay thick, soft, and bakery-style.

  • Flatten the dough evenly: Press each dough ball to the same thickness so they bake consistently.

  • Let the cookies cool completely: The caramel and chocolate will set much better on cooled cookies.

  • Warm the caramel slowly: Heating it in short bursts keeps it smooth and prevents scorching.

  • Let the caramel cool a bit before spreading: It thickens slightly and sits beautifully on top of the cookies.

  • Use good-quality chocolate chips: It makes a big difference in how the final chocolate layer looks and tastes.

  • Chill the cookies after topping: A quick trip to the fridge helps the chocolate set cleanly.

Get Creative!

  • Drizzle extra chocolate on top: Add a little flair with a contrasting chocolate drizzle.

  • Swap in different candy bars: Try Snickers, Milky Way, or Rolos for a fun twist.

  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt: A tiny pinch on top boosts the caramel flavor.

  • Use white chocolate instead: It gives the cookies a sweeter, creamy finish.

  • Mix in mini chocolate chips: Add them to the dough for even more chocolate in every bite.

  • Try flavored extracts: A touch of caramel or almond extract can change the whole vibe.

  • Play with shapes: Use a cookie cutter to reshape the cookies once baked for special occasions.

Serving & Storing

  • Serve at room temperature: The caramel softens just enough and the chocolate stays perfectly set.

  • Warm them slightly: A quick 5–10 seconds in the microwave gives you an extra gooey treat.

  • Pair with cold milk or coffee: The flavors are even better with your favorite drink.

  • Store in an airtight container: This keeps the cookies fresh and soft for several days.

  • Separate layers with parchment: It prevents the caramel and chocolate tops from sticking together.

  • Freeze the cookies without the topping: Add the caramel and chocolate after thawing for best results.

 

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can chill the dough for up to 24 hours. Just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping so it is easier to work with.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

This can happen if the butter was too soft or the dough was too warm. Chilling the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking helps keep the cookies thick.

Can I use homemade caramel instead of candies?

Absolutely. If you have a favorite homemade caramel sauce, go for it. Just make sure it is thick enough to stay on top of the cookies.

Do I have to use toffee pieces?

No. They add a lovely crunch, but you can leave them out or swap them with mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

How do I get the chocolate layer to look smooth?

Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before spreading it, and use the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula for a clean finish.

Can I freeze the finished cookies?

You can, but the caramel and chocolate may firm up or crack a bit after thawing. For the best texture, freeze the cookies undecorated and add the toppings later.

How long do these cookies stay fresh?

Stored in an airtight container, they stay soft and delicious for up to 4 days.
