Twix Candy Bar Cookies

Teresa Ambra

My, my, my. Twix Candy Bar Cookies are the BEST. These scrumptious cookies take one of my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough recipes and add Twix Candy Bars. They are sensational. Seriously. They have all that ooey, gooey caramel taste from the candy bars, plus a little chocolate thrown in. Yes, yes, yes!

Our church hosts a big Christmas party for our town in early December each year. We call it Christmas in Ovilla. We have several bounce houses, snow ramps, a petting farm for the kids, visits with Santa, and food. We usually grill Kosher hot dogs and then bring in a massive amount of cookies. At least half of them are home baked. I made several hundred of these Twix Candy Bar Cookies for the event.

My word. Everyone raved over these spectacular cookies. People kept coming back and asking me if there were any more. Could they have a second, or a third? Yes, we obliged them. Not everyone who came (about 1,500 people) got one, but a lot of folks did. All I had to say to everyone was, “They have Twix Candy Bars inside,” and they were “sold!”

I asked my husband to load up on Halloween candy after the holiday was over. I wanted to make lots of pies and cookies with the candy for the holidays. He must have bought enough candy to stuff a 55 gallon trash can! I had candy coming out my ears. I made Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cookies, all kinds of Snickers Cookies, Baby Ruth Cookies and Butterfinger Cookies. But I think these Twix Candy Bar Cookies were my favorite. I’m not sure why. I’ve never tasted Twix Candy Bars before making my Twix Candy Bar Pie and these cookies in December 2019. All I can say is, WOW!

Okay, these are solid cookies. They’re not so fragile that you can barely pick them up like a lot of Tollhouse Cookies are. I purposely made them whoppers. You can just about make a meal out of them. I know the recipe calls for a lot of flour. They do have a lot. But there is a lot of oil and sugar in the candy bars. That makes the cookies spread a lot. If you don’t have enough flour, the cookies won’t set up and will run on the cookie sheet. They are also too fragile that way so it’s hard to get them out of the pan.

I actually pack the cookie dough into the cookie scoop. That makes sure the ingredients adhere together. Anyway, they end up perfectly. (As I ,and hundreds of other folks who have tried these cookies, can attest).

Twix Candy Bar Cookies are the real deal. If you need a fantastic dessert for your next tailgating party, potluck or summer holiday fun, choose this one. You will be so glad you did. They are melt-in-your-mouth good and a chocolate and caramel lover’s delight.

Equipment

  • 2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 sharp knife to chop Twix bars
  • 1 1/4 cup cookie scoop
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 3 cups Twix Candy Bars chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Grease or spray large cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, combine butter, sugars, vanilla, eggs, salt and baking soda.
  • Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Stir in flour and Twix Candy bars with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  • Keep stirring! This may take 4-5 minutes.
  • Scoop dough with a one-quarter cup cookie scoop and place on prepared cookie sheets.
  • (Be sure to pack the dough into the cookie scoop).
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes at 350 degrees, or until lightly browned.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every six minutes through cooking time.
  • Let cookies cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: These are also good baked as brownies. Spread into a 10x15” cookie sheet and bake about 30 minutes at 350°.
 
NOTE: Twix Candy Bars contain a lot of oil and caramel. In order to prevent the cookies from running in the pan, I had to decrease the original amount of the butter. It may seem like the cookie mixture has too much flour, but you will need that much flour to absorb all of the oil from the candies while baking.
 
NOTE: I was baking three racks of cookies at a time. I rotated the cookie sheets on racks every six minutes. My cookies took about 18-20 minutes to bake.
