Halloween Candy Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, if necessary. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.

Step 4

With the mixer off, add the dry ingredients. Mix on low until just combined. Don’t over mix.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped candy bars.

Step 6

Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dough into balls and place them on your prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges barely start to brown. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes. You can gently press additional pieces of candy onto the tops of the cookies for looks. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 8

Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and cool completely.
