Twix Cookies recreate the iconic candy bar in shortbread form: buttery, tender shortbread rounds topped with gooey caramel and milk chocolate drizzle, yielding 24-30 bite-sized treats that capture caramel-chocolate crunch without wrapping foil. These no-roll shortbread bases bake pale and crumbly-cool, caramel spoons neatly without spreading, and chocolate sets shiny for party trays, cookie swaps, or ice cream topping. Sea salt variation elevates sweet-salty, mini size perfect gifting.
Why you’ll love this recipe mirrors Twix factory precision minus machinery: simple creaming yields shortbread that holds caramel without sogginess, low-heat melt prevents seizing, and fridge-set toppings stack airtight weeks. Reviewers praise “spot-on Twix bite” texture—crumbly base, chewy caramel, snappy chocolate—with chilling dough tip preventing greasy handles. Make-ahead gold: bake shortbread ahead, top day-of; freezes whole sheets for holiday rush.
Candy-bar nostalgia shines in ease—20 caramels melt foolproof with cream, shortbread dough presses no-fuss, variations like dark chocolate or salt flakes customize endlessly for under 25 cents each. Stack tins elegantly, pair coffee or milk—viral for cookie exchanges where “Twix dupes” vanish first.
