Bakery Style Milky Way Cookies made with sweet cookie dough and stuffed with the classic chocolate caramel nougat candies! These stuffed cookies are perfect for anyone who loves Milky Way candy bars!
Prep: Get started by preheating the oven to 375°F. Then, line 2 baking sheets with parchment (or silicon mats) and set them aside.
Dough: Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and both sugars, with an electric hand mixer, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Proceed to 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: Once the dough is ready, 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!
Notes
