Crumbl Copycat Twix Cookies With Caramel and Toffee

These Twix cookies are soft Crumbl-style cookies with toffee pieces baked into the dough, a creamy caramel layer, and melted chocolate on top. They are not shortbread thumbprints or Twix candy bar cookies, so the texture is more like a bakery cookie than a crisp candy-cookie hybrid.

The dough goes straight from the mixer to the pan with no dough chilling. Scoop it big, flatten the portions, bake until just set, then let everything cool before adding the layers. If this is your kind of dessert, browse more oversized bakery copycats.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Soft bakery-style cookies: Butter, oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch keep the base tender.
• No chill time: Mix, scoop, flatten, and bake.
• Toffee in the dough: The toffee pieces are mixed through the cookie instead of sprinkled only on top.
• No chopped Twix bars: You still get caramel, chocolate, and buttery crunch without cutting up candy bars.
• Jumbo cookie recipe: The batch makes 10 to 12 oversized cookies, just like the copycat Crumbl cookies people are usually searching for.

What Makes These Copycat Twix Crumbl Cookies Different?

A lot of Twix cookies recipes lean on shortbread, thumbprints, wafers, cake mix, Rolos, or chopped candy bars. This version keeps the layers cleaner: soft cookie base, toffee bits in the dough, caramel on top, and chocolate as the final layer.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Exact amounts are in the recipe card below. Here is what matters most before you start.

• Butter and oil: Butter gives flavor, while oil helps the cookies stay soft.
• Brown sugar and cornstarch: These help create that tender bakery-style bite.
• Toffee pieces: Use small bits so they spread through the dough evenly.
• Caramel candies and heavy cream: This shortcut melts into a smooth topping that is easy to spread.
• Chocolate chips: Let the melted chocolate cool before adding it so it does not sink into the caramel.

Equipment You’ll Need

Use a stand mixer or hand mixer, two microwave-safe bowls, baking sheets, parchment paper, a large ice cream scoop, a spatula, and a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup.

How to Make Crumbl Twix Cookies

1. Prepare the caramel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment. Melt the caramel candies with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set it aside so it can cool and thicken.

2. Mix the dough: Cream the butter with both sugars, then mix in the oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Add the dry ingredients: Mix in the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder just until the dough forms. Fold in the toffee pieces.

Pin

4. Scoop and flatten: Divide the dough into 10 to 12 large portions. Press each one into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.

5. Bake and cool: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges barely begin to brown and the centers look set. Cool the cookies completely.

6. Add the layers: Spread cooled caramel over each cookie, let it settle, then add cooled melted chocolate on top. Chill briefly if you want cleaner layers.

Recipe Tips

Pin

• Measure the flour carefully. Too much flour is the fastest way to make these dry.
• Use softened butter that still holds its shape, not melted butter.
• Flatten the large dough portions before baking so the centers set without overbrowning the edges.
• Cool the cookies, caramel, and chocolate before assembly. Warm layers slide.
• Keep the caramel inside the cookie edge and let it settle before adding chocolate.

Should Twix Cookies Be Served Chilled?

Pin

Chill the cookies when you want firm, neat caramel and chocolate layers. For a softer bite, let a chilled cookie sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Easy Variations

• Salted caramel: Add a small pinch of flaky sea salt before the chocolate fully sets.
• Milk chocolate: Use milk chocolate chips for a sweeter, more classic candy-bar flavor.
• Dark chocolate: Use dark chocolate chips if you want the topping less sweet.
• Smaller cookies: Make smaller portions if you like, but start checking them earlier.

Troubleshooting

• Cookies spread too much: The butter may have been too warm, the flour undermeasured, the dough flattened too thin, or the baking sheet too hot.
• Cookies are dry: They were likely overbaked or had too much flour. Smaller cookies also bake faster.
• Caramel is runny or sliding: The caramel, cookies, or kitchen may be too warm. Cool everything and use a moderate layer.
• Chocolate blends into caramel: The caramel needs more time to cool and settle before chocolate goes on top.

Storage

Store Twix cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Place parchment between layers if stacking. Freezing for long-term storage has not been tested; the freezer is only useful here for briefly setting fresh toppings.
