Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 12 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted and cooled until warm)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 cups Twix Bars (coarsely chopped into 1/4 inch chunks)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chop Twix Bars: Cut each Twix bar in half lengthwise, then chop into 1/4 inch chunks widthwise to create evenly sized pieces for folding into the dough.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool until it feels warm to the touch but not hot.
- Blend Sugars and Butter: Using a mixer, blend the melted butter with both brown and granulated sugar until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Twix and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped Twix chunks and optional milk chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Bake Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 13 to 16 minutes. Look for lightly golden edges with a soft center—avoid over baking to keep the cookies chewy.
- Cool and Remove: Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before carefully removing with a spatula to avoid sticking due to the caramel content.
Notes
- These cookies combine the beloved flavors of Twix candy bars with classic cookie dough for a sweet, chewy treat.
- Watch baking time closely to prevent cookies from becoming too hard; they should remain soft in the middle.
- The caramel in Twix may cause some sticking, so gently use a spatula when removing cookies from the sheet.
- Milk chocolate chips are optional but enhance the chocolatey flavor of the cookies.
