Trick or Treat Candy Cookies


If you happen to still have leftover chocolate Halloween candy, this would be a great recipe to use them in! I specifically picked out an assortment of chocolates from the kid's bags, and hid it! I wasn't sure what to name these, my son called them Halloween cookies, I call them Trick or Treat Candy Cookies. Basically it's a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but with all the chopped up candy instead of the chocolate chips, and minus a little sugar too. They turned really good (but not so photogenic) and the candy seemed to disappear in them, but Mr. especially loved them. I scooped these with my large ice cream scooper (about 1/4 C), so they are big fat cookies!


Trick or Treat Candy Cookies
adapted from Picky Palate

2 sticks softened butter
1/2 C + 2 TBL sugar
3/4 C + 2 TBL packed light brown sugar
2 extra large eggs
2 Tablespoons pure vanilla
3 3/4 Cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 Cups assortment of chocolate Halloween candy, cut up
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer beat the butter and sugars until well beaten. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl; mix. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the Halloween candy.
2. Scoop 1/4 Cup of dough (I used my big ice cream scoop) onto lined cookie sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes, until edges just start to turn golden brown. Let cool for for a few minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
that's a yellow M&M and probably a Milky Way there
