Ingredients used in these delicious twix cookies:

– butter, preferably room temperature, but if it’s not, you can use greeted butter
–granulated sugar, or you can also use powdered sugar if you don’t have one
– caramels, I like to use toffee caramels, but you can also use any other caramel candies and melt them
– the chocolate gets that final taste to the cookies, so it’s better if it’s better quality, you can choose whatever you like, but in the end, it needs to be milk chocolate.

How to make twix cookies?

The first important step is to have the butter at room temperature, but if not, you can use an easy hack, you can use grated butter, which will soften it in minutes. 
After you mix the butter with the sugar and it’s fluffy, add the flour in and knead until you get a good soft dough with all the ingredients incorporated.
It’s always important to have your dough chilled, so it doesn’t change its shape while baking. In the end, spoon the microwaved caramel and chocolate on top of warm/chilled cookies.
