Who doesn’t love the taste of a Twix candy bar? Now imagine that deliciousness combined with a homemade cookie. That’s right, we’re talking about Twix cookies! And the best part? You can make them in the comfort of your own kitchen. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get baking!

Here’s What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 20-24 mini Twix bars, unwrapped and cut in half

Let’s Get Started!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Don’t be afraid to give it a good mix!
  3. Time to add some flavors! Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until everything is fully combined. Your kitchen will start to smell amazing!
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. It should come together nicely!
  5. Now comes the fun part – assembling the cookies! Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a halved mini Twix bar in the center and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a ball. Make sure the Twix bar is fully covered by the dough. You don’t want any surprises!
  6. Place the filled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. This will give them room to spread while baking.
  7. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the magic happen! Bake the cookies for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Your house will be filled with the aroma of freshly baked cookies.
  8. Once the cookies are out of the oven, resist the temptation to dive right in. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will help them set and firm up a bit.
  9. After a short cool-down period, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. This will ensure that they retain the perfect texture – crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Now it’s time to grab a glass of milk and indulge in your freshly baked Twix cookies. Whether you’re sharing them with loved ones or enjoying them all to yourself, these homemade treats are bound to put a smile on your face. Your inner cookie monster will thank you!

So what are you waiting for? Get baking and enjoy the deliciousness of Twix cookies straight from your own kitchen. Grandma would be proud!
