Candy Cookies

My dear friend Currié and her family came over for dinner to celebrate her birthday. I made her favorite Chicken and Rice Casserole for dinner. The kids and I decided to make cookies filled with M&M’s and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for dessert. The cookies were easy to make and a great way to get rid of the extra Halloween candy. They turned out moist and delicious. We all loved the cookies, especially the birthday girl.

How to Make Candy Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray or line the cookie sheet with a silpat baking mat.

In a large bowl, mix the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until creamy and smooth. Slowly beat in the eggs.

In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together thoroughly. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixtures until well blended. Add most of the M&M’s and most of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and mix carefully.

Drop by rounded spoonfuls on cookie sheets. Add the remaining M&M’s and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces to the top of the cookies.

Candy CookiesBake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool before moving them to a wire rack. Enjoy.

  1. I just came across this website and fell in love with this cookies. I made them with what i had in the house, so swapped out the wheat flour for more plain and only used Reese (as they are my favourite!)
    They came out great, very soft and moist inside.
