Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Salted Butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1-1 ½ Cups Chopped Candy of Choice

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!
