Equipment
- Stand Mixer with paddle attachment
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Whisk
- Spatula
- 3 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Cooking Rack
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour about 2 cups
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 100 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
- 100 grams light brown sugar about ½ cup, packed
- 1 stick butter softened, unsalted
- 1 large egg
- ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces leftover Halloween candy chopped small (about ⅔ cup) plus more for the top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Add sugars and butter to a stand mixer and cream together for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides. Add egg and pure vanilla extract and mix again until just combined.
- Transfer dry ingredients into the stand mixer bowl and run again until combined.
- Fold in chopped candy with a spatula, then scoop 3-tablespoons dough balls and drop them on the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 14 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
- A medium cookie scoop ensures evenly sized cookies and consistent baking. If you use a different size this may affect the bake time. Remove from the oven when edges are golden and centers are just barely set for chewy centers.
- Light press a few more candy pieces on top of each dough ball before baking for a bakery-style look.
- When folding in candy, gently turn the dough with a spatula in a figure 8 motion to avoid overmixing and for a more even distribution of add ins!
- Freeze extra cookie dough balls in a freezer bag for future baking.
- Nutritional information will vary depending on the candy of your choosing.
