Candy Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Get a load of these giant cookies! This is yet another fabulous recipe created by Jenny from Picky Palate. You take chocolate chip cookie dough and place a big scoop on the top of your favorite fun size candy bar and place a nice big scoop on the bottom then seal the edges up and bake. The result is a classic buttery, chewy, and perfectly crisp edged chocolate chip cookie with a melty, gooey, and chocolately surprise center!
My candy bars of choice were Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Milky Ways, but any fun size candy bar would work great, just choose your favorites!
Here's the inside of the Snickers stuffed cookie,
and the inside of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cookie,
and finally the Milky Way stuffed cookie, my favorite!
