Stacy’s Notes – I’ve been making these for about 10 years. I first found this recipe online at a blog, when I was searching for something to do with leftover Halloween candy. The author of this recipe (Anna Ginsberg) said she had used Kit Kats (did not work), Twix (did not work, melted too much), Snickers (she said worked ok) and M&M’s. She suggested trying Milky Ways or Rolo’s, but I have only ever used M&M’s. 🙂
- If I’m making these for the two of us, I make the recipe as written. It should yield 12 large cookies or 16-20 smaller cookies. If I’m taking these anywhere, I double the recipe.
- Be sure to take your butter out early in the day, to give it time to soften
- I don’t use a 1/4 measure to scoop out the dough. I use my smaller cookie scoop and usually end up with 16-20 smaller cookies
- In my oven, probably since I am baking smaller cookies, these only take 13-14 minutes, so start checking at 12 minutes
- Try to leave the dough mounded and thick, since these spread a lot
- I bake on a Silpat lined sheet or parchment paper.
Enjoy!
