Double Chocolate Twix Cookies
Danielle, my partner in #TwoSweetiePies, is a constant source of inspiration, especially since we are both chocolate and caramel fans. I never, ever eat candy, but I have no qualms about adding candies or chopped candy bars to cookies. And how about Twix Bars? Caramel, chocolate, crunchy cookie? Heck, yes. I knew I’d fall head first in love with Hugs & Cookies XOXO’s Twix Cookies.
A Few Baking Tips for Making These Twix Cookies
These cookies started out with your ordinary ingredients: butter, sugar, an egg, vanilla, flour. But a few tablespoons of cocoa powder, chopped, caramelly Twix bars and chocolate chips pushed these over the top. Thank goodness this batch only made a dozen cookies or I might need to break out my stretchy pants this week. Remember, you’ve been warned.
A couple of tips for you, though. I popped my dough balls into the freezer for a few minutes while I tidied the kitchen. My dough was very soft, so even though I used a cookie disher to scoop out the portions, I wanted an even rounder ball of dough. Once chilled for a bit, I could shape them into better spheres by rolling between my palms.
Make sure to used non-stick foil (my preference) or a Silpat or parchment to line your baking sheet as there is bound to be some oozy caramel that escapes during baking. Once the cookies came out of the oven, I quickly used my spatula to press any caramel back towards the cookie. This also works to reshape any crazy amoeba looking cookies. Those happen to us all but can be fixed only while the Twix cookies are still piping hot.

Oozy caramel and all of these delicious pictures sound like stretchy pants to me. But I’m okay with it!
Great cookie, Liz! I made a Twix muffin a while back and it was very popular. Nothing like the combination of chocolate and caramel!
I LOVE how thick and chewy and chocolateyyyy these cookies look and then, mmmmm, those gooey pieces of caramel in the center!
You make the prettiest cookies Liz! I am seriously drooling over these ones – I don’t eat candy bars anymore either but love adding them in cookies or bars too. Twix were always one of my favorites too 🙂
Oh MY! These are my kind of cookies, I just LOVE twix!!!
I too have had to do a little cookie reshaping once they have come out of the oven 😉 I think we all have done it. These do look delicious I love twix candy bars so they must be good encased in a chocolate cookie!
I love these cookies. I think I would have a hard time not eat the whole batch.
