Twix Cookies

These Twix Cookies are the perfect combination of my favorite candy bar and my favorite chocolate chip cookie!

Why I Love This Recipe!

If I had to pick a favorite candy bar it would be a Twix bar. I like them so much that my husband proposed to me with a Twix bar!

We had gone out for a nice romantic dinner and when we returned to his house, the lights were dimmed and George Benson was playing on the record player (yes, a record player)  He pulled out a coupon book he had made with construction paper and Twix bars. How sweet is that? 

The coupons were for all my favorite things, an ice cream cone at Baskin Robbins, a coupon for a foot rub, a doughnut from Winchells, tickets to a Kenny Loggins concert, a ride in his car, “the bomb”, and of course a coupon for a Twix bar.

The last coupon was for this…

A coupon for a diamond ring and then a coupon that entitled me to the love and devotion of Jim for an extra long time – eternity!  I said yes and now I can never eat a Twix bar without thinking about that night!

So back to the Twix cookies.

Ingredients Needed

  • Flour. I use unbleached all purpose flour
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Butter. For this recipe I used unsalted. If you only have salted butter just use half the amount of salt. 
  • Sugar. Both brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Twix Candy Bars
  • Milk Chocolate Chips. Optional add in

How to Make Twix Cookies

  • Chop your Twix bar into 1/4 inch chunks. Cut each bar in half lengthwise and then chop into 1/4 inch pieces width wise
  • In a bowl, combine flour, soda and salt and set aside.
  • Melt butter in microwave or on stovetop. Partially cool.
  • In your mixer, blend butter and sugars together until combined
  • Beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla
  • Add in dry ingredients and beat until just combined
  • Fold in Twix Bar chunks into cookie dough.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 13-16 minutes until light golden brown and edges start to harden but center is soft. Do not over bake. Cool on wire rack. Because of the caramel in the Twix they may stick a bit to the cookie sheet so use a spatula to remove

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use another kind of candy bar?

You can definitely use your favorite candy bar. I do recommend using one that has caramel in it.

Can I freeze Twix Cookies?

They can be frozen using the using the information found in this post. Cookies will last in the freezer for up to three months.

These Twix cookies are really good!!   I have a personal cookie rating system and this cookie is a five cookie recipe.  That means I may have eaten five of them!  They are basically a chocolate chip cookie with out the chocolate chips, you just chop up Twix Bars instead!

If you like Twix Cookies, try one of these favorite treats:

  • Candy Bar Cake
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
  • Candy Bar Sugar Cookie
  • Candy Bar Ice Cream

  • Chop your Twix bar into 1/4 inch chunks. Cut each bar in half lengthwise and then chop into 1/4 inch pieces width wise
  • In a bowl combine flour, soda and salt and set aside
  • Melt butter in microwave or on stovetop. Partially cool.
  • In your mixer blend butter and sugars together until combined
  • Beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla
  • Add in dry ingredients and beat until just combined
  • Fold in Twix Bar chunks and chocolate chips(if using)

Instead of Twix Bars, you can use whatever your favorite candy bar is.
To make removing the cookies easier, be sure and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.  The caramel makes the cookies stick to the pan.

    How big do you make each cookie? Is it one rounded tablespoon like chocolate chips or more? Thanks.
