Milky Way Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a yummy cookie dough recipe with a surprise in the middle- a Milky Way candy bar.

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups (12-oz package) chocolate chips

20 fun size Milky Way bars, cut into thirds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.

Cut each Milky Way bar into 3 chunks.

Shape a spponful of cookie dough completely around a chunk of Milky Way so that the candy is in the middle. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. I take mine out after about 10 minutes because I like my cookie to be a little softer.
Cool for 2 minutes and enjoy!

The picture does not do these cookies justice.. they are unbelievably delicious and the ooey gooey melted caramel in the middle is wonderful!

Or you could always to do this to make your life easier....

This would be nowhere near as good as homemade cookie dough, but would still be delicious.

If using storebought cookie dough, form the dough slices around a chunk of Milky Way and bake according to package directions.
