Some things are just made to go together. When I was a child, I loved candy bars and cookies. To be honest, I never outgrew that love. I would be happy to have those two items daily if I could. Now that I have gotten older and have to be healthier, I have to consider my splurges. One of my favorites are these easy Candy Bar Cookies. They only have five ingredients, everyone compliments them and take a few minutes to make. Let’s face it, most of us don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen and want fast and easy recipes. These cookies have saved me more than once when the kids told me at the last minute they needed to take something for a school bake sale or snack.
I keep the basic ingredients in the freezer and pull them out when needed. If you are really in a hurry, don’t bother with the chocolate topping. Here’s all you need to make them:
The best part of this cookie is that it is so versatile. You can use any type of chocolate candy bar inside these cookies, creating a different flavor each time. Simply mix the cookie dough with the flour until it is blended. Roll the dough out flat on a greased surface. I usually use a piece of waxed paper sprayed with some cooking spray. If you don’t have (or can’t find) a rolling pin, use a glass coated with cooking spray. Use the glass to cut the cookies into circles.
Add a piece of the chopped candy bar to the center of each cookie. Roll each cookie into a ball and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Make chocolate icing by melting milk chocolate chips and cream together in the microwave. Spoon into the center of each cookie.
- 1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie mix
- 10 fun sized chocolate candy bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) flour
- 1 cup (8 ounces) milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons cream
- Mix cookie dough and flour until blended. Roll out onto a greased cookie sheet. Cut circles from the dough. Add a piece of chopped candy onto each piece of dough. Roll dough into a ball. Bake 10 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool completely. Melt chocolate chips and cream together in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir. Melt for 30 seconds more if needed. Spoon onto tops of cookies.
These look so good & simple to make! Not to mention a great way to use up some of that Halloween candy we accumulated.

Ok now why won’t Robin share? These cookies look absolutely delicious no to find the time to make them.
Oh man are you making my mouth water. If I could… I would beat Robin to the cookies and eat them all before she had a chance.
You could try, Terry, but I am almost a black belt and no one is getting past me to those cookies.
I love these cookies. I would totally eat the entire batch myself.
