Our boys received such a ridiculous amount of Halloween candy this year. We went to 15 houses and the home owners were very generous to the boys. However, our boys are 4 years old and 18 months, they do not need that much candy. In order to use up some of the candy I thought I would make cookies and put some of the chocolate treats into them. I used my tried and true cookie dough recipe (courtesy of my elementary school cookbook:
Parkside Centennial Cookbook - Timothy's favourite cookies), milk chocolate chips and chopped Halloween candy (smarties, and fun size chocolate bars). My dad stopped by for a visit (conveniently when they came out of the oven) ate one and then another and took one for the road. I think they were a success!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cups EACH brown sugar and white sugar (I usually use closer to 1/2 cup of white sugar)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup mixed Halloween candy (chocolate bars that have been chopped and smarties is what I used)
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Blend into the wet ingredients. Add chocolate chips and candy. Mix to combine.
Drop by tablespoon onto baking sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes. Cool on pan 5-10 minutes, remove to wire rack to cool. ENJOY!
