    • Vanilla Extract - Adds a warm, cozy note to every bite.
    • Eggs
    • Sugar
    • Salt - Amplifies all of the flavors while adding a slightly savory note.
    • Gluten Free Flour - Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free flour makes baking both sweet and savory dishes easy.
    • Baking Soda
    • Baking Powder
    • Dairy Free Sweetened Condensed Milk - Nature's Charm Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk is Dairy Free and soy free. As it simmers down it forms a luscious caramel for these cookies.

    How to Make Gluten and Dairy Free Decadent Twix Cookies

    Sticky, sweet, soft, and chewy, these easy and indulgent cookies are sure to become a new favorite.

    Time needed: 1 hour and 20 minutes.

    Skip the candy bar and reach for the cookie jar. The combination of chocolate and caramel gets a fun twist with these delectable confections.

    1. Pregame

      Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

    2. Mix

      Add your sugar and Dairy Free butter to a bowl and mix for five minutes until it is light, fluffy, and airy. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until just combined. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until just incorporated, careful not to over mix.

    3. Bake

      Use a scoop to divide out equal sized cookies between the two cookie sheets. Bake for 7-10 minutes until the edges are just lightly golden brown. Allow to cool on baking racks.

    4. Caramel

      Add the sweetened condensed milk to a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to cook for five minutes until the color has deepened to a golden blonde. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.

    5. Chocolate

      Using either a double boiler or microwave, melt your chocolate.

    6. Fill

      Scoop a little of the caramel onto each cookie. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the caramel. Enjoy!

    Substitutions

    These cookies are Gluten Free and Dairy Free. However, you can use your favorite dairy products and flour to make this same recipe. You can also replace the semi-sweet chocolate with your favorite dark chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, or even milk chocolate.

    Storage

    While it will be love at first bite and these cookies won't last long, they can be store for up to a week in an airtight container.

    Top Tip for Gluten and Dairy Free Decadent Twix Cookies

    Using a double boiler is a great way to gently melt chocolate. When you create a double boiler, it allows you to cook or melt something at a gentle heat without worry of over cooking it. This is useful for making custards, meringues, melting chocolate, etc. The best part is you don’t need any special tools.

    Armed with a pot of simmering water and a glass bowl, you can easily create a double boiler at home. The key is to make sure the water never touches the bottom of the bowl. You want the steam created from the seal to do all of the work.
