Leftover Candy Cookies

Clear Out All that candy!!

After the candy binge the night of Halloween, we gather the candy, let the kids pick out their favorites, then save some to donate, some for future movie nights and some to add to desserts!! With 6 kids trick or treating, we end up with tons of candy, and it’s best to clear it out as soon as possible. 😉 Years ago, we were sick of all the sweets and wanted to get rid of them as fast as possible and came up with these Candy Cookies filled with our favorite chocolate candies. The kids LOVED them! With all of their favorite candies mixed through out, these cookies have become a go-to and are requested all year long. If you love candy, we know you’ll love them too.

How to Make Candy Cookies

If your cookies spread too much chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to firm up the butter, preventing excessive spreading. Recipe Video Recipe Video Recipe Video
