Notes
Do not overmix your cookie dough; overmixing develops gluten and makes cookies tough.
For perfectly shaped cookies, chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This prevents spreading.
Use good quality Twix bars for the authentic flavor.
When melting chocolate, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, to avoid scorching.
A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on the melted chocolate elevates the flavor of these Best Twix cookies even further.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
Thaw frozen cookies at room temperature.
You can gently warm these amazing Twix cookies in the microwave for a few seconds to soften the caramel and chocolate, making them taste freshly baked.
