Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 20-24 mini Twix bars, unwrapped and cut in half

Preparation:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix well until fully combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Form Dough Balls: Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a halved mini Twix bar in the center and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a ball. Ensure the Twix bar is fully covered by the dough.
6. Bake: Place the filled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
7. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs:

1. Can I use regular-sized Twix bars instead of mini ones?

• Yes, you can use regular-sized Twix bars, simply cut them into smaller pieces to fit inside the cookies.

1. Can I freeze the dough to bake later?
