I wrote this post almost a year ago and it is so much fun to look back and remember some of our favorite candy bar cookies as we look to create these and more this holiday season!
We are up to our elbows in all kinds of cookie dough! Each year we take out all our baking gear and the kids and I go to town creating awesome looking cookie platters! We take these to every party,get together,outing, and dinner we go to over any holiday week! We also serve up these delicious treats when friends and family come to call!
Each year we have done different cookies and through out the years we have come up with our own creations while also adding a twist to some of the classics!
Here’s what cookies we were craving and setting out to create for this holiday season….

Ingredients

1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup
light brown sugar
-
1
egg,beaten
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract

1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
2 1/4 cup
all purpose flour
Cooking Directions
Preheat Oven to 350F
Cream together the butter and sugars. You can use a mixer or do it by hand whichever you find to work best. Since I have a master baker 😉 we use a spatula!
Add the egg and vanilla and mix together
Add the salt and baking soda and mix together
Add the flour little by little and mix
until combined.
Time for the add-ins!
We roll the cookie dough at onto cookie sheets using a small cookie scoop but a tablespoon,or rolling dough with your hands works great also! Each recipe makes about 24 cookies! We bake all the cookies at 350 F for about 12-15 minutes. Our family enjoys chewy cookies,keep them in a bit longer if you prefer crispy cookies!- Enjoy 🙂
