I wanted to go a little outside the box with incorporating candy into my treats, so i picked up some payday bars
And mini mr goodbars.
I mixed in some cut up paydays in a peanut butter cookie bar recipe, baked them and gently pressed in mini mr goodbars right after removing them from the oven. Perfectamundo, to paraphrase the Fonz, Arthur Fonzarelli.

These are cookies for when you can’t decide if you want chocolate chip or chocolate chocolate chip. This provides both for. Really easy to make too!
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. I recommend chilling the dough for a few hours before baking, and preheat your oven before baking.
Ingredients list
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup crisco
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tbs vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup bread flour (or you can use entirely all purpose flour)
2 tbs flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
2 cups chocolate chips
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, crisco and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in 3 cups flour, 1 cup bread flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Divide dough in half and place one half in separate bowls. To one half, add the 2 tbs flour and 1 cup chocolate chips. To other half, add cocoa and 1 cup chocolate chips.
Scoop out 2 tbs of chocolate chip cookie dough and 2 tbs chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough. Roll into one large ball of dough, like below.
Chill individual doughs for a few hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies on sheet.
What’s better than a humid 90 degree day? Turning on your oven to bake cookies and heat your houseboat even more. Although these have smores cookies, which are a summer staple, so perhaps that makes it all ok.
I used chocolate graham crackers in these, but regular grahams are just fine.
These feature mini marshmallow bits. I don’t recommend mini marshmallows because I think they would get all melty during the baking process. If you don’t have or can’t find marshmallow bits, perhaps toast some marshmallows ans put them on top of cookies after baking.
I also used 1 cup of bread flour, but feel free to use entirely all purpose flour.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring. Up. And chill the individual doughs before baking.

These are like a snowball cookie, using butter, powdered sugar, flour, but i added some vanilla ice cream and some vanilla ice cream frosting. Why? Not sure, just thought it would be neat to incorporate ice cream in some treats.
These are not overly sweet, so the frosting brings up the sweet level!
