Chewy Twix Cookies

Cookies hold a pretty high standard in my book. They can’t be too thin, too crispy, too hard, or too soft. Lightly golden brown on the edges, fluffy, and with just the right amount of chewiness are the cookies that rock my taste buds. Know what I mean?

These Chewy Twix Cookies are soft and chewy, loaded with twix pieces and baked until they're slightly crispy on the edges but fluffy on the inside. 

And I’m no cookie expert, but I know what I like. Chocolate chip cookies are on of my favorites (followed closely by snickerdoodles) and they have to meet my strict standards. And while I’ve baked many varieties of cookies over the past few years, my standard recipe for the chocolate chip kind is my all-time favorite. I’ve made them countless times and love the sweetness of the batter and how darn perfect they come out every time. I even turned my classic chocolate chippers into these Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies, which proved to be a hit in my household.
 
Well, I’m at it again, friends! Since I could eat cookies pretty much any day of the week, I decided to experiment with my chocolate chip batter and add in one of my favorite candy bars. After careful consideration (and browsing the candy aisle at my grocery store), these Chewy Twix Cookies immediately popped into my head.

And the best part is that these Chewy Twix Cookies are easy to whip up and are so full of flavor! If you love Twix candy bars, then this cookie was made for you. And I’ll let you in on a little secret…my secret ingredient that makes these cookies extra soft and oh-so delicious is instant vanilla pudding mix. It acts just like cornstarch, which keeps these cuties soft. The pudding doesn’t add much flavor, but is a necessity in my book!

    • I made my husband take these to his work so that I wouldn't eat them all...I have absolutely zero willpower when it comes to these cookies!

  3. Gayle, you are my cookie expert! Now, I have a lot of self control and can usually say no to dessert with Twix being a big exception! Haha. I've been reading a lot about instant pudding mix in recipes and everybody says to do it, so now I feel like I owe it to myself to try these cookies =)

    • You should definitely try pudding mix in cookies, Laura! And it's very easy to switch up, too. If you make chocolate cookies, just use chocolate pudding mix! :)

  4. I am SO the same about cookies! A total cookie snob. Crunchy and golden on the outside, but super soft and chewy on the inside, or that cookie shouldn't even bother to come a-knockin'! These sound AMAZING, and I am loving the Twix! Pinning!

  43. So I kind of adore Twix and really soft cookies and now I'm craving these for breakfast. I really have no excuses since they're so fast to make! :) These have weekend written all over them Gayle, you nailed this recipe! They're just thick enough and still soft but perfect for grabbing and going ... because you know, cookies are a grab and go breakfast affair ;)

  44. Twix is one of my favorite candies, so adding it to cookies sounds like one delicious idea! And my cookies need to be thick, chewy, and the whole nine yards! Pinned. :)

  48. 2 questions: 1.) How fine do I chop the twix? Do I rough chop them? Or put them in a choper until their fine? 2.) Do I make the pudding and then put it in the batter or just put the mix in? Thanks!

    • Hi Michelle! I just quartered each mini unwrapped twix bite so that it was in four pieces. And no you just use the dry pudding mix only. I hope you love these just as much as I do! Please let me know how they turned out!
