]]> One of my favorite candies is Twix. That combination of buttery shortbread, caramel, and chocolate was my go-to treat almost every afternoon my first 2 years of college. Thankfully, since then I have cut way back on my Twix consumption. Back in December when I was working the Sharathon the popular candy that week was Twix. One of my friends mentioned that she just wanted the shortbread cookie part without the chocolate and caramel and most of us thought she was crazy. This got me thinking that I needed to try and create a Twix Cookie recipe.
