Our Twix cookies are made with 5 ingredients and are the easiest version around. This is because we used pre-made caramel dip! No melting down caramel candies and mixing in heavy cream (although you totally can do that if you prefer the flavor of caramel candy vs. dip).

Did you know that shortbread cookies are made with only 3 ingredients? Butter, powdered sugar and flour. That’s it! The main difference between a sugar cookie and a shortbread cookie is the density. Sugar cookies are lighter (made with baking powder), and shortbread cookies are more dense with a buttery taste. This makes it the perfect base for our Twix cookies.

Twix Cookie Recipe Ingredients

  • Butter: you must use butter. It is simply the best for making shortbread cookies.
  • Powdered Sugar: using powdered sugar results in a melt-in-your-mouth cookie.
  • Flour: all purpose flour works great.
  • Caramel Dip: found in the produce section at the grocery store. Use the leftovers for sliced apples or caramel cider donuts!
  • Chocolate Chips: milk chocolate is my preferred chocolate chip for these cookies, but semi-sweet or melting wafers can be used.

How To Make the Easiest Twix Cookies!

Step 1: Make the shortbread cookie dough.

Step 2: Roll out dough, cut out cookies with round cookie cutter and bake.

Step 3: Spread with caramel dip and melted chocolate.

Twix Cookie Shortbread Base

Combine ingredients in a large bowl using an electric mixer. The dough will resemble coarse sand. Turn the mixer off and form the dough into a ball with your hands. What first looked like coarse sand will end up forming a beautiful dough.
