We have a ton of leftover candy.   Probably over 200 pieces.   So i will be busy baking with them.

Today – snickers stuffed inside peanut m&m cookies, which basically use a chocolate chip cookie dough, but instead of chocolate chips, i used peanut m&ms.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  I recommend chilling the individual doughs for a few hours before baking, and preheat your oven before baking.

• Ingredients list
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup bread flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Mini snickers

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Fold in m&ms.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.

Divide each scoop in half and slightly flatten.

On top of one half, place an unwrapped snickers.

Top with other half.

Seal sides.

Chill doughs for a few hours.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees.   Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners.  stagger doughs on sheet.

Bake 12 to 13 minutes (bottoms will be lightly golden).  Cool completely.  

Store in covered container.
