HIDDEN TREASURE COOKIES



Hidden Treasure Cookies image

Only 2 ingredients and a candy bar in every bite! These cookies taste delicious, couldn't be easier and are a great way to use up leftover mini candy bars from your last holiday! The kids will love making these with you - you just wrap candy bars in cookie dough and bake. I love using Snickers with the peanut butter dough. Solid chocolate bars are the only candy that doesn't work well - just too much chocolate! You can substitute sugar cookie dough if someone's allergic to peanut butter.

Tips:

  • To ensure your cookies turn out perfectly, use exact measurements and follow the instructions precisely.

  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use two spoons to shape the dough into balls.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
