The Compromise Cookies

There are times when you must choose between eating cookies and eating a candy bar. (I'm not sure when this would happen, but I'm sure it does.) This is a difficult decision to make. Fortunately, with the help of these cookies, you no longer have to make that decision. You see, these aren't just cookies. They are cookies with a piece of candy bar inside! These cookies are even sneaky in their disguise and look like plain cookies. So you can easily eat them and people will think you are just eating a cookie. Everyone wins!

The version of this cookie presented below is made with Pilsbury pre-cut, ready to bake sugar cookie dough and mini Snickers. These can be made with any type of mini candy bar and probably any sort of pre-made dough.

Needed:

• ready to bake cookie dough (store bought or homemade)
• mini candy bars

Zeroth step, preheat oven to the temperature the cookie dough desires.

First step, unwrap all the candy pieces. Place them on a plate or in a bowl.

Second step, place the unwrapped candy pieces next to the cookie dough. The dough is easier to work with when softened, so leave the ingredients alone on the counter to get acquainted if needed.

Third step, place a piece of cookie dough on your palm and smash it with your other palm. Don't worry, the cookie dough cannot feel pain.

Fourth step, place an unwrapped piece of candy in the middle of the smashed dough. Wrap the candy piece with the dough.

Fifth step, repeat the third and fourth steps until a pan is full of dough balls.

Sixth step, place the filled pan in the oven for the designated bake time (the cookies will tell you how long this is).

Seventh step, remove the cookies from the oven. Let cool a minute or so on the pan before removing to the cooling rack.
