• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

how to serve Decadent Chewy Chocolate Twix Cookies

These cookies are best served warm, straight from the oven, but they also taste delicious at room temperature. You can enjoy them as they are or pair them with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter at parties.

how to store Decadent Chewy Chocolate Twix Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them.

tips to make Decadent Chewy Chocolate Twix Cookies

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with the sugars.
• Do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underbaked in the center when you take them out. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
• For an easier cleanup, use parchment paper on your baking sheets.
• If you want a richer chocolate flavor, you can increase the cocoa powder slightly.

variation

You can add different ingredients to customize your cookies. Try using different kinds of chocolate bars, like Snickers or Milky Way, or add nuts like pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture. You can also experiment with adding caramel bits for an extra twist!

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
Yes, you can use salted butter. Just reduce the added salt in the recipe to half a teaspoon.

What if I don’t have cocoa powder?
If you don’t have cocoa powder, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour for a vanilla version of the cookie.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just let it soften a bit at room temperature before baking.
