Hands down, my hubby loves this cookie!

Twix thumbprint cookies playfully combine two beloved treats: cookies and Twix bars. This recipe’s origins come from my desire to recreate the experience of biting into a Twix, but in the form of a homemade, shareable cookie. These cookies are perfect for a cozy weekend baking session or as a standout addition to your holiday cookie tray. They always disappear fast at parties, leaving everyone reaching for more.

These cookies are delightful on their own, but they pair beautifully with a tall glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee. If you’re serving them at a party, consider setting up a dessert buffet with a variety of other cookies and small sweets for a tempting display. Add some fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the cookies to create a well-rounded dessert experience.
