Candy Stuffed Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla and beat again.

Step 3

Add baking soda and salt and stir well to combine. Add flour, mixing until just combined, then add the chocolate chips and stir to distribute.

Step 4

Cut 15 fun size candy bars in half.

Step 5

Grease full size muffin tins (enough for 30 candy bar stuffed cookies). Using a cookie scoop, add one scoop to each of the bottoms of the muffin tins.

Step 6

Place half a fun size candy bar atop each dollop of dough and press down so it is into the dough but not all the way to the bottom.

Step 7

Use a small scoop to add a second (smaller) scoop of dough to each cookie.

Step 8

Gently press down on the cookie dough ball to flatten enough to cover the candy bar.

Step 9

Bake at 325 degrees for 19-21 minutes. Do not overbake. These will be less done looking than cookies generally are.

Step 10

Cool in the muffin tins for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them and place on a cookie rack to cool the rest of the way.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container on your counter for three to five days.
