Halloween Candy Bowl Cookies Recipe

Name: Halloween Candy Bowl Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt (generous); 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (scant); 3/4 cup butter, melted; 1 cup brown sugar, packed; 1/2 cup white sugar; 1 egg; 1 egg yolk; 1 tablespoon vanilla; 1 1/2 cups (or more) chopped assorted candy bars; Sea salt, for sprinkling

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 350F, and line your cookie sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
3
In a larger bowl, using an electric mixer, cream melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended.
4
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and blend until smooth.
5
Mix in the dry ingredients at low speed just until combined.
6
Stir in the chopped candy by hand. Have fun with the mix! I used Twix Bars, Reese's peanut butter cups, Kit Kats, M&Ms, Snickers, Baby Ruth, and Heath bars!
7
Using your hands, form cookies into round discs about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with a few grains of sea salt.
8
If you can spare the time, cover the cookies lightly with plastic wrap and allow to rest in a cool place for an hour or so before baking. Otherwise, bake away!
9
Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Don't worry if some of the candy oozes out as the cookies bake. The caramelized bits that creates are delicious! Cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then remove to a baking rack to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
