My wife and I were going to a cookie exchange party – everybody brought cookies to brunch for everyone else to take home. Â Someone, who will go nameless, had to break into the bags early and give some of the cookies a try. Â Wonder who?
This is a great recipe for the holidays. Â So I wanted to share these in time for the upcoming holidays as well as to share with the wonderful ladies of the FB Fill The Cookie Jar group.
I had the idea to put different candy bars inside the cookie. Â So I needed a versatile cookie that would compliment the candy choices. Â I made a sugar cookie but added some brown sugar for a little twist. Â I inserted Belgian chocolate and mini-bag of Hershey’s chocolates. Â That way it would be a surprise what you got with your cookie.

These sound yummy and would be a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy!
Peter: I would have broke open the bag too. great idea with the assorted candy.
Have to be careful to not eat all the candy before you are done making the dessert!
What a great twist for a sugar cookie. We are big cookie fans. I’m going to have to make this recipe for my grandsons. They will luv them.
