Twix cookies with caramel and milk chocolate

Ingredients

Cookies:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3.5 oz softened butter
• 1 egg
• 1 2/3 cups flour

Topping:

• 3.5 oz milk chocolate

Caramel:

• 2.65 oz butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

Preparation

• Shortbread dough:
  Combine soft butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Add one egg and mix.
• Add the flour in batches. Start with a whisk and finish by hand.
  
• Wrap the dough in cling film: form into a ball and flatten. Chill for 15 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a floured work surface. Cut into 3.5 x 1.5 inches (9 x 4 cm) rectangles.
  
• Add small strips (0.2 x 3.5 inches or 0.5 x 9 cm) to the top of the pastry rectangles, pressing them down to stick.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C), then leave to cool completely.
  
• Caramel:
  Melt the butter. Add the sugar and stir. When the mixture comes to a boil, add the sweetened condensed milk.
• Stir for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
  
• Fill the inside of the cookies with the caramel. Chill for 15 minutes. Fill the inside of cookies with melted milk chocolate and chill for 15 minutes.
• And there you have it—your cookies are ready!
