To make Twix cookies, you can follow this recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 fun-size Twix bars, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chopped Twix bars until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler. If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening to thin it out.
- Dip each cookie halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-dipped cookies back onto the parchment-lined baking sheets and let them set until the chocolate hardens.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your Twix cookies are ready to enjoy!
