What makes Twix Cookies different from regular chocolate chip cookies?

Twix Cookies are unique because they incorporate a delicious combination of caramel, buttery dough, and milk chocolate, distinguishing their flavor from traditional chocolate chip cookies. The gooey caramel layer sets them apart, providing a rich texture that complements the crispy edges and soft center.

How should I store Twix Cookies?

Store your Twix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. If you want them to last longer, you can keep them in the refrigerator for about a week or freeze them for up to a month!

Can I use brown sugar in this recipe?

Absolutely! Using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar will give your Twix Cookies a deeper flavor and added moisture. This can enhance their chewiness, resulting in a cookie that's even more delicious.

Can I freeze the dough before baking?

Yes, you can freeze the dough! To do so, shape the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze. Once solid, transfer them to a zip-top bag for up to three months. When ready to bake, simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What can I substitute for caramel bits?

If caramel bits aren’t available, you can use soft caramels unwrapped and cut into small pieces. You can also make a homemade caramel sauce if you’re feeling ambitious, but be sure to allow it to cool slightly before using!
