Are you familiar with Twix candy bars? They have a crunchy, butter cookie and gooey caramel in the center that is all covered with chocolate. Sounds like heaven, doesn’t it? These Twix cookies perfect capture all that deliciousness.

I make cookies for all sorts of occasions:

I have a sweet tooth and am a fan of many different kinds of cookies. A few years ago I began making cookies using my favorite candy bars. They were such a big hit with my family that I continued creating and looking for more candy bar cookie recipes. Some of our favorites are:

How to Make Twix Cookies

These Twix Cookies are a variation of the traditional thumbprint cookie. I’ve been making my grandmother’s old fashioned jam thumbprint cookies for years. I know she’d approve of the modern variation.
