Twix Cookies, also known as millionaire or billionaire bars, are a deliciously indulgent treat inspired by Twix candy bars.
These cookies feature a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth dough wrapped around a mini Twix, resulting in a soft, caramel-filled center and a hint of crunch from the cookie shell.
Perfect for a homemade twist on a favorite candy, these cookies combine the flavors of caramel, chocolate, and shortbread to create a truly satisfying dessert.
Ingredients:
1 cup of softened unsalted butter
1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
20-24 mini Twix bars, unwrapped and cut in half
Preparation: How To Make Twix Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix well until fully combined.
In another bowl, whisk the flour and salt together. Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, blending until a soft dough takes shape.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your palm.
Position a halved mini Twix bar in the center, then wrap the dough around it, forming a ball.
Ensure the Twix bar is completely enclosed by the dough.
Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced a few inches apart to accommodate spreading.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges turn a light golden brown.
Take the cookies out of the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool entirely.
For the best Twix Cookies, start by ensuring your ingredients are at room temperature; softened butter and room-temperature eggs blend smoothly, resulting in a perfectly even dough.
Once you’ve wrapped the dough around each Twix piece, chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before baking.
This step prevents the cookies from spreading too much and helps keep that delightful Twix center intact.
For a creative twist, you can swap out the Twix with other mini candy bars like Snickers, Rolos, or Milky Way, each adding its own unique flavor.
Finally, use a small cookie scoop to portion out your dough consistently, ensuring each cookie is evenly sized and bakes at the same rate.
These tips will give you beautifully golden, gooey-centered Twix Cookies every time.
To keep your Twix Cookies fresh and delicious, start by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature, where they’ll last for about 4-5 days.
If you prefer a firmer texture, you can also refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to a week.
For longer storage, these cookies freeze beautifully—just arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container, with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Stored this way, they’ll stay fresh for 2-3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature, or warm them in the microwave for a soft, gooey center.
With these tips, you can savor your Twix Cookies any time!
