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.

I think I gained 5 lbs lusting after those desserts. Wow, you are the dessert Queen! Have a great week, Liz. 🙂
Twix is my favourite chocolate bar and my favourite to add to cookies. I bought a four bar pack for the purpose of baking but I’ve been eating them straight up lately (shame face). Looks like I need to buy some more so that I can make these cookies!
I LOVE those cookies and that apple pie is droolworthy too!
I love the crunchy texture of twix bars and I bet these cookies are just as delicious. It is morning here and I want to dive straight into dessert with all of your little goodies. Maybe I will start with that slice of apple pie, that is kind of breakfasty, what do you think….
I haven’t had a Twix bar in too long… I must change that and whip up a batch of these cookies!
Lizzy these cookies are just too amazing for words. I would eat at least 3 in one sitting (just not let Lora see me eating it) All the other creations are totally amazing as well! Thanks for sharing…will print out recipes! xoxo
I can only imagine how good these cookies tasted. Anything with “double chocolate” and “twix” in the title, is an instant winner in my books. Wish I had one to devour right now!
Danielle is evil and dangerous, but in a good way!
Oh goodness, my husband and I have been eating so many Twix because of all of the Halloween candy. It’s one of our favorites. I must make these!
Another great round-up, Liz! I spotted some nuts in your choc cookies! Love the crunch 😀
These twix chocolate cookies look fantastic, Liz. My husband will be crazty for those white chocolate brownies.
Now these just sound like a GREAT idea! Chocolate caramel heaven!
Such gooey and yummy cookies!! Love the molten chocolate coming out!
Beautiful pictures.
I see no reason why this can’t be done more often. Chocolate on chocolate–check, delicious on delicious, check. You’re a genius.
Heck yes! These look irresistible – maybe I’ll make a batch when I’m visiting someone, so I can leave them at their house, instead of eating them all myself 🙂
Difinitely what i craving for my brunch!!!
i dah a lil bit hectic clinical stuffs lately, this cookies literray save my mood….
Oh, my, you are inspiring me to run to the gym (albeit I’m still in recovery mode from a spill.) Why are you motivating me to run, swim and exercise? Not only do you list this decked out Twix bar chocolate cookie, you remind us of all the other luscious cookies on the must fulfill this craving list =)
these are hurting me because my favorite candy bar of all time is a twix bar. it just makes me happy and cookies make me happy so these twix cookies make me really happy!
I love these cookies. I think I would have a hard time not eat the whole batch.
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!
Oh MY! These are my kind of cookies, I just LOVE twix!!!
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 🙂
I LOVE how thick and chewy and chocolateyyyy these cookies look and then, mmmmm, those gooey pieces of caramel in the center!
Great cookie, Liz! I made a Twix muffin a while back and it was very popular. Nothing like the combination of chocolate and caramel!
Oozy caramel and all of these delicious pictures sound like stretchy pants to me. But I’m okay with it!
