Description

Put that leftover Halloween candy to good use in these versatile cookies that combine chocolate bars with traditional cookie ingredients.

• 2 cups chopped candy bars, or more to taste

• 1 cup white sugar

• 1/2 cup butter

• 2 eggs

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• cooking spray

1 Melt candy bars, sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

2 Beat in eggs, one at at time, until smooth. Mix in flour and baking soda to create a sticky dough.

3 Chill dough in the refrigerator until it can be easily scooped, about 1 hour.

4 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

5 Roll 1 1/2 teaspoonful of dough into balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart.

6 Bake in the preheated oven until brown and fluffy, 10 to 12 minutes.
