Twix Cookies


I have made several different cookies using candy bars.  And not a one of them bad!  This combination of chocolate, caramel, and shortbread is no exception.  A wonderful cookie with a surprise in every bite!

TWIX COOKIES

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 Tbsp (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups coarsely chopped Twix bars

Preheat oven to 325.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.  Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.  Gently stir in the Twix chunks.

(At this point, I refrigerate the dough overnight).  Roll the dough into balls and bake on a lined baking sheet for 15-18 minutes (I weighed mine out at 18 grams).

Allow the cookies to cool for ten minutes before removing them off the baking sheet.  This recipe made about 5 dozen cookies for me.
