TURTLE-TWIX THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Thumbprint cookies are such a classic… this spin on them includes a gooey caramel center and drizzled melted chocolate. Tastes just like a Twix!

Easy to make shortbread cookies filled with a decadent caramel sauce and salty pecan pieces, drizzled with creamy melted chocolate…. they taste just like a Twix bar mixed with a turtle candy!

These cookies come together pretty quickly, the only real downtime you have is when the dough is chilling, and then once the cookies are cooling (although that doesn’t take too long).

INGREDIENTS ;

Shortbread Layer:

• 2/3 cup unsalted butter softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Caramel Filling:

• 14 wrapped caramel candies like Kraft Caramels
• 3 Tbsp heavy cream
• pinch of salt if desired
• 3-4 Tbsp chopped pecans toasted (optional )

Chocolate Drizzle:

• 6 ounces milk chocolate chips
• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS :

For the shortbread cookie:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add softened butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat with the paddle attachment at medium-low speed, scraping the bowl often, until light and creamy. Add one third of the flour; beat at low speed until just combined, repeat with remaining flour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
