Halloween Candy Cookies

What to do with leftover Halloween candy? I found this recipe that lists a good idea for using up those candy bars, M&Ms and other candies you have laying around the house!

Left over Halloween Cookies!

Halloween Candy Cookies
Chop leftover Halloween candies and tuck these pieces into cookie dough instead of chocolate chips. Almost any candy will work-Butterfingers, Heath Bars, Milky Ways, Snickers, Kit Kats, M&Ms and even gum drops and jelly beans! Have fun

3 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1 1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla extract
2 cups chopped candy bits

1. preheat oven to 350
2. sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Set aside
3. Beat Butter and sugars together with a mixer until very light, about 5 min. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add Vanilla Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in candy bits.
4. Drop dough by Tablespoons onto baking sheets. Bake 15-20 min. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I made these today and they turned out great. It was a good way to use up the leftover candy. I read that the average Halloween candy treat bag your kids bring home is about 9,000 calories!
YUMMY!

I am now moving my mind-set to Thanksgiving! I have much to be thankful for.

Thanks for reading my blog.
