Send Me To The Milky Way Cookies

Good Wednesday Morning Ya’ll. Hope everyone is enjoying their week! It’s actually my B-day today, whoo hoo for 32! It’s weird because I don’t feel much older than when I was in high school! It’s just a number right!!??

Yes, another Halloween has come and gone and sure enough I had a whole bowl full of mini Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers left that I wanted to get out of the house. Being the cookie lover that I am, I thought, why not just toss all the candy bars into some good dough. Let me tell you, I am not a huge fan of these candy bars by themselves, but Whoa are they good in cookies. The nougat and caramel makes the cookies chewy and ultra soft. I might even be tempted to make these babies all year round, that’s how much I liked them. So, give them a whirl, and if your family is anything like mine, those are the 2 candy bars that are left at the bottom of your Halloween bowls!

Take a peek and enjoy!!

Send Me To The Milky Way Cookies

2 sticks softened butter

¾ Cup sugar

¾ Cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ¾ Cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.In a stand or electric mixer cream the butter and sugars.Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined, scraping edges with a spatula. In a separate large bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt.Slowly add to wet ingredients along with the chopped candy bars.

2. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cooked to your preference. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack.

    Hey Jenny, happy birthday!!! My friend made me these cookies and told me about this website she found them on….(yours) and of course they were wonderful! She then said that you look so great and so young, (not that 32 is old or anything!) Obviously you stay very busy and that keeps you looking great!

    These sound great! And just in time for my friend’s cookie exchange party. I was wondering approximately how many full size candy bars would you use? I ate all of my Halloween candy already!

  12. Bob

    Happy Birthday girlie! Glad you don’t feel older (especially with kids!), that’s the goal, I think.

    Those cookies look awesome, wish I had some leftover candy… heh.

  13. Becky

    Happy Birthday! I just made these cookies and they are great! I didn’t have any milky way but I used half with butterfinger and half with snickers. They were so good!
    Thanks!

  14. Mary Ann

    Happy Birthday! This is definitely a better way of dealing with Halloween candy that just eating it!

  15. Bunny

  16. Shirla

    Happy Birthday! Those cookies look yummy. 🙂

  17. Dawn

    Awww Happy Birthday sweetie! yes, it’s just a number.
    I gave away all my Halloween candy…too dangerous to keep around me.
    But glad you made really good use of yours. I love the chunk of candy bar in the middle pic. YUM!

  18. Sara

    Happy Birthday to you!!! These cookies look amazing. I have a bunch of snickers…any ideas? I guess I could just do the same thing just with the snickers. Thanks for the idea.
