Mama Mudslider's Halloween Cookie

Do you hate to throw all that leftover candy?  Perhaps you might reconsider.  Hali Horn, a former pastry chef at Kittichai, does too.  So she baked them– into warm, chewy cookies.

Ingredients:
(Makes approx. 2 dozen)

• 8oz unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp malted milk powder (optional)
• 2 cups left over Halloween candy, cut into ¼” pieces*

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Beat butter and sugar in a mixer until light and fluffy.
Mix vanilla extract and eggs together and add to butter mixture in 2 batches, beat until light and fluffy.
Mix all dry ingredients together and add in 2 batches to butter mixture until combined well.
Add candy and mix until just combined.
Using tablespoons, place balls of dough onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
Cool and serve.

** Candies like licorice, candy corns and the like will work in the recipe, but do not bake as well as chocolate, caramel, nougat, etc.
