Twix Cookies
These easy Twix cookies are absolutely delicious! Rich, chewy homemade cookies dotted with chocolate chips and chunks of Twix candy bars. A perfect combo of sweet treats!
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- Twix cookies are full of so much yummy flavor. Warm brown sugar, rich milk chocolate, sweet caramel. SO good!
- These cookies are the perfect combo of textures. The cookies themselves are chewy and soft. They’re dotted with the crispy, crunchy biscuit layer of the Twix bars. The chocolate melts in your mouth, and you get a little chewy creaminess from the bits of caramel. Seriously, you’ll be obsessed with every bite.
Chef’s Tips
- If you’d rather, you can portion the dough into balls before chilling it. You’ll need more room in your fridge that way, but you might find the room temperature dough easier to work with.
- The cookies should still be warm when you top them with Twix pieces.
- If you’re a fan of sweet + salty together, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the cookies after they come out of the oven. Don’t overdo it, though!
