Candy Cookies
My dear friend Currié and her family came over for dinner to celebrate her birthday. I made her favorite Chicken and Rice Casserole for dinner. The kids and I decided to make leftover Halloween candy cookies filled with M&M’s and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for dessert. The cookies were easy to make and a great way to get rid of the extra Halloween candy. They turned out moist and delicious. We all loved the cookies, especially the birthday girl.
Candy Cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of butter, softened
- 3/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup M & M’s
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, cut into bite-size pieces
How to Make Candy Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Slowly beat in the eggs.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture until well blended. Add most of the M&M’s and most of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and mix carefully.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls on cookie sheets. Add the remaining M&M’s and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup pieces to the top of the cookies.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool before moving them to a wire rack. Enjoy.

I just came across this website and fell in love with this cookies. I made them with what i had in the house, so swapped out the wheat flour for more plain and only used Reese (as they are my favourite!)
They came out great, very soft and moist inside.
How much of the candy do you put in??
I used several small bags of miscellaneous candy.
