The Candy Store

This cookies comes out of my indecision to ever pick out just one thing at the candy store.  Why not have it all?  Just like with the others, this recipie allows for some freedom.  What I've found, however, is that when picking the candy try not to pick all bars or all pieces.  Try for a mix so that the cookie doesn't crumble or fall apart too easily.

Ingredients

•  2 stick butter [1/2 cup]
• 1 1/2 cups pakced dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup chopped Twix pieces
• 1 cup chopped Snickers pieces
• 1/2 cup M&M's
• 1/2 cup Reeses Pieces

Directions

•  Oven temp: 375 degrees
• Bake time per batch: 7-10 minutes

1. In large bowl, melt butter in microwave until soft [about 40 seconds].
2. Add brown sugar and sugar to the bowl and beat with butter until well mixed.  This part can be done with an electric mixer to get a lighter, fluffier mix, but the rest of the recipie is best done with hand mixer [wooden spoon works great].
3. Add both eggs and vanilla.  Mix until well blended.
4. On top of the mix add the flour, then baking soda and salt.  With a fork, gently blend the dry ingredients together while it sits on top of the wet mix.  Take your wooden spoon and mix all the ingredients together.
5. Add the candy pieces and fold them into the dough. 
6. Spoon the dough, about 3 1/4 tablespoons at a time, onto a non-stick baking sheet.  The size of the dough ball can vary just as long as its consistent throughout the batch.
7. Bake in the oven for about 7-10 minutes.
8. Cool on a cooling rack or on paper towels for at least twenty minutes before packaging them, or just eat them right away!
