Ingredients for Twix Cookies

Cookie Dough

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

• 20 to 25 mini Twix bars, chopped
• ½ cup soft caramel candies or caramel bits
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

If you do not have Twix bars, try using Snickers, Rolos, or caramel-filled chocolate chunks.
Replace milk chocolate chips with dark or semi-sweet chocolate for a deeper flavor.
For a halal-friendly version, use caramel made only from sugar and cream instead of gelatin-based candy.
Salted butter can replace unsalted butter if you reduce the salt slightly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy.

Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add this dry mix gradually to the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Step 4: Fold in Twix Pieces

Stir in the chopped Twix bars gently so that caramel and chocolate chunks stay visible.

Step 5: Scoop and Bake

Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 15 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are soft.

Step 6: Add the Caramel Drizzle

Melt caramel candies with heavy cream in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the caramel over the cooled cookies.

Step 7: Finish with Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips, drizzle them over the cookies, or dip half of each cookie for a glossy candy-bar finish.

Pro Tips for Success

1. Chill the dough before baking for thick, chewy cookies.
2. Pull cookies out of the oven when the centers are slightly underdone; they’ll firm up as they cool.
3. Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
4. Add extra chopped Twix pieces on top of each cookie before baking for a bakery-style look.
5. Let cookies cool completely before stacking or storing.

Flavor Variations

1. Salted Caramel Twix Cookies – Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle.
2. Double Chocolate Twix Cookies – Mix ¼ cup cocoa powder into the dough.
3. Peanut Butter Twix Cookies – Replace half of the butter with peanut butter.
4. Holiday Twix Cookies – Add red and green mini M&Ms to the dough for a festive touch.
5. Mocha Twix Cookies – Stir in 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder for a coffee twist.
