We still have a massive amount of Halloween candy at our house. Not just the crummy stuff that no one wants to eat, but candy bars and chocolate and everything! I've been thinking that I need to grab a bunch of it and throw it in cookies, or brownies, or cake or something, and I'm just now getting around to it. I slightly adapted this cookie recipe because I wanted a cookie base that could stand up to the serious chunks of candy I was going to put in it. They turned out perfectly! The cookies are nice and soft and chewy and full of chocolate, caramel, toffee, yum! Use whatever assortment of candy you have!
Candy Bar Overload Cookies
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped candy bars/candy (snickers, m&ms, whoppers, use what you have!)
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Ad the eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and beat until just combined. Stir in the chopped candy until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned but still soft in the center (not shiny raw looking, though). Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes (all the candy makes them a bit gooey to get off the pan if they are too hot). Transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Makes about 24 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
