Yup. For those of us who can't resist a soft, chewy cookie or chocolate and candy this combination is sure to captivate those taste buds!
Sweet Tooth Cookies
1 lb. butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
6 cups flour
Chocolate bars*, caramels, coconut, any type, chopped
Beat the butter with sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until nice and fluffy for a few minutes. Mix the dry ingredients together and gradually add to the batter.
Using an ice cream scoop, drop onto a baking sheet. Parchment works great to keep the bottoms nice and light. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until light brown around the edges. Don't over bake these or they won't stay soft.
Allow to cool on a wire rack for a couple minutes, then press the candy and chocolate pieces into the tops of each cookie. Use combinations that sound good to you like chocolate bars and caramel pieces, or just keep it simple and stick to one type on a cookie like Reeses pb cups or Kit Kat. Allow to cool completely. Be sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain softness. Enjoy them while they last! Yield is 3-4 dozen large cookies.
*If you use peanut butter cups (highly recommended!) be sure to refrigerate them before chopping and placing on the cookie. My first attempt turned into pb puddles!
