Twix Cookies

So I opened my pantry the other day and saw a box of shortbread Girl Scout cookies sitting next to a bag of Twix candy bars and thought, hmmmmm…who doesn’t love Girl Scout shortbread cookies, and who doesn’t love Twix candy bars?  A chocolate caramel shortbread cookie baked IN a shortbread cookie!

Twix Shortbread Cookies I must tell you my mistake the first time I tried to make them; I mixed the Twix in the batter.  Although they were still delish, the caramel stuck to the bottom of the pan.  So I tried, tried again and placed the Twix on TOP of the cookies before I baked them.

Oh, and you need to freeze the Twix candy bars for about an hour minimum before you cut them.  I used the “fun size”.

Twix Candy Bars To make the shortbread batter, mix butter and sugar; then add some vanilla, salt and flour.

Mixing Shortbread Batter for Twix Cookies Then you’ll roll the batter into balls (about a tablespoon full each) and place on a baking sheet.  Using the back of a wet spoon dipped in water, flatten each cookie ball.

Twix Cookies in the Making

 Then, slice your twix with a sharp knife into little chunks.  Even though they’re frozen, they’re not hard to cut.

Sliced Frozen Twix Candy Bars Then you’ll dab the twix pieces into each cookie:

Preparing Twix CookiesPlace the cookies in a 350 degree preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.  Perfect little Twix cookies.

Here’s the printable version ~ go get your Twix cookies on!  🙂
