Twix Cookies
What to do with leftover candy after Halloween? Or do you have a craving for a candy and a cookie at the same time? These cookies, made with Twix bars, are a yummy treat mixing candy and cookie!
It’s a basic cookie recipe with the twist of the Twix candy. Start by mixing the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Stir well together and set aside.
Open the Twix bars as they will need to be chopped. (Look at the helper hands today!)
Chop the Twix Bars
When we first started making these we would chop the Twix bars by using a meat tenderizer. We found this did not separate the caramel well enough. Now we recommend simply cutting into small pieces with a knife.
In another bowl, it’s time to mix the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs.
Look who’s back! One of our favorite helpers in the kitchen. If you’ve followed this blog she’s been helping since the beginning. Now, at age 8, she can pretty much make most recipes by herself.
Using a hand mixer, blend all these ingredients together until well combined. Once well mixed, add the flour mixture in slowly until all combined.
Add the Twix bars last, using just a spoon to combine. At this point, if desired for more chocolate, add a cup of chocolate chips too!
Once all mixed together, place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the dough become fluffier when baking.
Roll the chilled dough into 2” balls and place on a baking sheet. At this point, chop a few more Twix bars to place on top of the cookies right before popping in the oven.
Ready to bake! Check after 10 minutes and cook for up to 12 minutes total.
She’s pretty happy with how they turned out!

Twix Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Twix bars (about 8-10 fun-sized bars, or 3 regular-sized)
Instructions
- In medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped Twix bars, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- If desired, press a few extra Twix pieces into the tops of the dough balls for extra gooey Twix bites in each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set (they’ll firm up as they cool).
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
