Crumbl Copycat Twix Cookies You’ll Love

Soft, buttery Twix cookies layered with caramel and chocolate. A Crumbl-inspired treat that’s easy to make and even easier to love.

If you’ve ever stood in line at Crumbl and ordered their famous Twix cookie, you know exactly why I had to recreate it at home. These Twix cookies start with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth base that’s soft but holds its shape, topped with gooey caramel and a smooth layer of chocolate that cracks just slightly when you bite in.

Every single bite tastes like your favorite candy bar, but somehow even better. And the best part? You can make them in under 30 minutes. #winning!

This easy fall dessert checks all the boxes of being chewy, rich, and downright irresistible. Whether you’re baking for a cozy night in, a cookie exchange, or simply want something sweet with your afternoon coffee, these cookies hit the mark every time. They’ve become a go-to treat in our house, and once you try them, I’m betting they’ll be yours too.

Twix Cookie Baking Tips

Don’t overbake: These cookies are meant to stay soft and buttery, so pull them from the oven as soon as the edges barely turn golden. They’ll continue to set as they cool.

Flatten before baking: Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press your cookie dough into even discs, about ½ inch thick. This gives you the perfect shape and structure for layering on the caramel and chocolate later.

Let the caramel cool slightly: After melting the caramel candies with heavy cream, give it a few minutes to thicken before spreading. If it’s too hot, it’ll slide right off the cookies.

Use high-quality chocolate: A good chocolate chip (or even chopped chocolate bar) makes all the difference. The smoother the chocolate, the more bakery-perfect your cookies will look.

Speed up the setting: If you’re impatient like me and can’t wait to sink your teeth in, pop the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to help the caramel and chocolate layers firm up faster.

Storage tip: Store your cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I actually love them chilled. It gives the caramel a chewy texture that’s chef’s kiss perfection.

Optional twist: Try drizzling a little extra melted chocolate on top once they’re set or sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer before chilling. It’s a simple upgrade that makes them look straight out of a bakery display case.

Ingredients

For the cookies:

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a couple baking sheets with parchment, set aside.  
2. In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel and heavy cream.  Heat in 30 second increments and stir between each interval until the caramel is smooth and creamy.  Allow to cool at room temp while the cookies bake.

6. Add in the toffee pieces and fold to combine.  

7. Using a large ice cream scoop, divide the batter and place the scoops on the prepared baking sheet.  
8. Use the bottom of a glass cup or measuring cup to flatten the dough into a disc about ½ inch thick.  
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just barely beginning to brown and the centers are set.  Allow to cool completely before assembly. 
10. In another medium microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30 second increments and stir between each interval until smooth.  Allow to cool to room temp. 
11. To assemble – once the cookies are cool, scoop a spoonful of caramel onto each cookie and spread evenly.  
12. Top with a spoonful of melted chocolate and spread evenly. 
13. Optional – place the assembled cookies in the fridge or freezer to set the caramel and/or chocolate quicker.
