¾CupGranulated Sugar
1LargeEgg
1TeaspoonPure Vanilla Extract
½TeaspoonSalt

1 ¼CupsAll Purpose Flour
1CupMilk Chocolate Chips

Instructions
Cream the butter and sugar in a standing mixer, or by hand, until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds or so. Add the egg and the vanilla. Mix until well incorporated, about 20 seconds.
Add the dry ingredients: the flour, the baking soda, and the salt. Mix until well incorporated, and no powder remains. Add your chocolate chips and chopped candy. Stir gently until they are mixed in.
Using a 5-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough balls onto a parchment lined standard sized baking sheet. Bake five at a time at 375°F for 16-18 minutes, or until golden on the outside. The middle will set up as they cool.
Cool on cookie sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Makes 8 cookies.
If you prefer smaller cookies, use a 2 tablespoon scoop and baked for 12-14 minutes. Enjoy!
