Calories: 537kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 fun size Milky Way bars
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment (or silicon mats) and set them aside.
- Dough: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and both sugars until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
- Add in the baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Whisk the ingredients continuously until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the cookie dough.
- Assemble: Unwrap each fun size candy bar and enclose each Milky Way bar with enough cookie dough to cover them entirely. Place each ball of dough on the prepared baking sheet at least 2" apart, 6 cookies on each baking pan.
- Bake: Place one of the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies (6 at a time) for 13 minutes. Be sure to allow them to cool before removing them from the pan. Serve and enjoy!
