    It’s cookie time! Cookie Friday is here and I’ve got something really nice for you today! Twix Cookies aka. Butter Cookies with Dulce de Leche and Chocolate! Sounds good, right?!

    Today’s cookies are inspired by a chocolate candy bar everybody loves. Twix or Raider as I know it from my childhood. These long butter cookies with a layer of thick caramel, coated in chocolate. Mmmmm… can it get any better? Chocolate and caramel?! So nice!

    I decided to go for a round version of this candy bar, so it is actually like a cookie ;) U know… Cookie Friday. Everything else is more or less the same. A delicious butter cookie is topped with a good amount of dulce de leche and then coated with milk chocolate. I could eat those cookies all day! So good!

    I made the dulce de leche myself at home in the easiest way possible – it’s been cooked in the can. You can find the recipe here. If you have caramels, you can melt them and mix with some heavy cream to get a thick caramel sauce. Or you get some from the supermarket. If the caramel sauce is too runny, place it in the fridge for some time, this way it’s much easier to handle. Also when coating the cookies and caramel with the chocolate, make sure the cookies are cold. If you cool them, the chances are better the caramel stays where it belongs ;)

    Note: I recommend to store the cookies in a cool place or maybe in the fridge. If it’s warm the cookies start to stick together because of the chocolate and that can become quite messy.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Add the butter, confectioners’ sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Add the flour and mix until small crumbles form. Gradually add the water and mix until the dough starts coming together. Form a ball, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for an hour.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Set aside. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out 38-40 cookies with 1.5 inches (4cm) diameter. Place on the baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until firm but not browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    3. Spread a small amount of Dulce de leche on each cookie and place the cookies on a board and place in the fridge for about an hour. Melt the chocolate together with the shortening and mix until smooth. Dunk the cookies into the chocolate so they are covered completely, brush off excessive chocolate and place on parchment paper to dry. Store the finished cookies in the fridge.

    1. Die Butter mit dem Puderzucker und Salz in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Den Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und unterrühren. Das Mehl zugeben und verrühren, bis sich kleine Krümel bilden. Das kalte Wasser nach und nach zugeben und alles verkneten, bis der Teig anfängt zusammenzuhalten. Eine Kugel formen, plattdrücken und dann in Klarsichtfolie wickeln. Für etwa 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche dünn ausrollen und etwa 38-40 Kreise mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 4cm (1.5 inches) ausstechen. Auf die Bleche legen und dann für 8-10 Minuten backen – die Kekse sollten fest, aber nicht gebräunt sein. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.

    3. Auf jeden Keks eine kleine Menge Dulce de leche streuchen und dann auf ein Brett/Blech legen und für etwa 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank stellen. Die Schokolade mit dem Palmin erwärmen und glattrühren. Die Kekse mit dem Karamell in die Schokolade tauchen, bis sie komplett bedeckt sind, überschüssige Schokolade abstreichen und dann auf einem Backpapier/Butterbrotpapier fest werden lassen. Die fertigen Cookies im Kühlschrank lagern.
