This stuffed cookie recipe is really easy to make — all you need is an extra 5 to 10 minutes so you can stuff a fun-size Milky Way inside cookie dough before baking. We make our own cookie dough, but if you’re in a pinch, use a store-bought cookie dough, it will still work. (If you do use store-bought dough, watch the baking time as it may vary from what we share below). Also, feel free to switch out the Milk Way bars for your favorite small or “fun-size” candy bar.

Yield: 12

Ingredients

1 cup (227 grams) butter, softened (2 sticks)

3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar

3/4 cup (161 grams) packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/4 cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour (we used Gold Medal Unbleached)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

10 ounces (283 grams) chocolate chips

12 to 14 “fun-size” Milk Way candy bars

Method

Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large bowl, beat butter, both sugars and the vanilla extract on medium speed with a hand mixer until creamy, light and fluffy, scraping down the sides as necessary. This should take about 2 minutes. Then, add one egg and beat until combined. Repeat with second egg.

In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, baking soda and the salt. Whisk about 10 times to make sure everything is well combined.

Now, add the flour mixture, in thirds, to the butter mixture, beating until incorporated and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Use the palms of your hands to roll about 12 cookie dough balls, using 2 tablespoons of dough for each. Then, flatten one cookie dough ball, place a Milky Way into the middle. Flatten a second cookie dough ball and cover the Milk Way. Squeeze/crimp together the edges so that the Milky Way is completely covered. Repeat with remaining dough. This should make between 12 and 14 stuffed cookies.

Bake cookies 10 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are light golden brown. (It may be helpful to rotate baking sheets half way through baking). Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely. Or, do what we do and eat the cookie now, while the Milky Way is still molten.
