chunky twix cookies

This afternoon I was after a quick cookie to make. I need to drop some cookies by to a few ladies from church before I head out of town tomorrow. When I opened my cupboards and fridge I remembered that I haven't gone grocery shopping a couple of weeks...I'm going out of town and I've mentioned before that my husband only eats carbs....no need to keep fresh food in the fridge and so on! SO...the delimma...I'm almost out of granulated sugar, I have no "chips" and I used the last of the oatmeal yesterday! My husband had a stash of twix bars though! So after a quick google search I found just what I was looking for thanks to Sprinkled with Flour (a new cooking blog I found!!!)!!!

chunky twix cookies

2 cups plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
12 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups coarsely chopped Twix bars


Preheat oven 325°. Coarsely chop the Twix bars (about 1/4-inch chunks). I like to cut each bar in half lengthwise, and then make several cuts width ways to make even blocks. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly combined. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients to the sugar mixture and beat at low-speed just until combined. Gently stir in the Twix chunks.

At this point she has some funky directions...I treated the dough just as you would any other cookie dough..scoop with a tsp and place on cookie sheet and bake!

They were not my FAVORITE cookie! But they are pretty yummy and will make for a nice treat for some special ladies!
