Tips to make Twix Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugars.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Use quality chocolate chips for a richer taste.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top before the cookies cool.
Variation
You can customize these cookies by adding chopped nuts or using dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate. You can also mix in crushed cookies to enhance the cookie base.
FAQs
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, but reduce the added salt in the recipe to keep the flavor balanced.
How can I tell when the cookies are done baking?
Look for golden edges; the center may appear slightly soft but will continue to firm up as they cool.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the dough, roll it into balls, and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze them for later use. Just add a couple of extra minutes on baking time if using frozen dough.
