Tips For Making Vegan Twix Cookies
Bake one batch of cookies at a time
Yes, this recipe makes 12 cookies but don't place two baking trays in the oven at once. Place 6 cookie dough balls onto each baking tray and bake one load at a time.
The centre of the oven is where the heat is distributed most evenly so place each tray in that spot for the specified amount of time instead of cramming them both in.
Use parchment paper
This prevents the cookies from spreading too much it grips to the bottom.
Chill your cookie dough
This makes the cookie dough firmer, resulting in a thicker, well-textured cookie that hasn't over-spread.

Description
These vegan twix cookies are just what you need. Thick, gooey caramel and creamy chocolate on a chocolate chip cookie. They're so good!
Ingredients
Caramel:
Dry Ingredients:
- 125g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50g granulated sugar
- 50g light brown sugar
- 50g vegan chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2.5 Tablespoons soy milk
Make the chocolate:
- 70g vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation:
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
Make the cookie dough:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add all of the dry ingredients. Combine.
- Next, pour in the wet ingredients. Fold the dry into the wet to form a cookie dough. Be patient as it might seem quite dry at first but the texture will improve.
- Use your hands to form a large ball with the cookie dough and refrigerate for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Make the caramel:
- While the cookie dough is in the fridge, make the vegan dulce de leche caramel.
- You can either make your own caramel or buy store-bought vegan caramel. If you choose the homemade caramel, place it into the fridge once it has cooled down. It should thicken before the cookie dough is ready.
Bake the cookies:
- Just before the time is up, preheat your oven to 160 Celsius (325F).
- Take the cookie dough out of the fridge. Use a cookie scoop to scoop 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough for each cookie. Roll them into balls and place them 2-3 inches apart on a baking tray as they will spread.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes in the centre of the oven, then let them cool for 10 minutes when you take them out.
- When they have cooled, spoon one tablespoon of the refrigerated vegan caramel onto the centre of each cookie. Spread it to the edges so that the cookies are covered.
Make the chocolate:
- Use the double-boiling method to melt the vegan chocolate chips by placing a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan with hot water in it. Place over a medium heat. Alternatively, you can melt your chocolate in another way that suits you.
- Place a teaspoon of melted chocolate over the caramel. Place the cookies in the fridge for 15-20 minutes so that the chocolate can set.
