Oh fine, enough of me drooling over these milkyway cookies, on to the story behind them.
Have you guys been getting your free chocolate every week? Well, we have and we have so much that it’s getting a little bit out of control. Ok, so maybe A LOT out of control. We’ve had to get pretty creative to keep up, this recipe is one of our newest creations.
The other day I ran to the store to buy a certain candy to try a new cookie recipe, however they were out so I had to settle with milkyway candy bars. At first I was a little skeptical, would these really be any good? Oh, but don’t you worry, they were ridiculous. Ridiculously good that is! The entire cookie is so soft and chewy but with the milkyway centers they are just that much softer and just that much chewier! YUM! I really don’t think it gets much better than this my friends!
