What can I really say about cookies? Delicious, chewy, crisp, sweet, endless variety! I love a good cookie but to be honest with you I think a regular chocolate chip cookie gets boring! But somehow it seems to be Americas all time favorite cookie. Dont get me wrong, I like them but after having one Im done. I love something more exciting, a surprise in the middle, something unexpected so instead of making a classic chocolate chip cookie and made a little twist.
I literally went to the grocery store and picked out chocolate or caramel candy that I like and filled my cookies with that. And let me tell you THEY TURNED OUT AMAZING. Might not look super pretty but the flavor and over the top filling made my mouth turn inside out and upside down. I literally ate 4 cookies in 30 seconds. I couldn’t stop. I love and over the top creamy extra extra extra everything in any dessert. So these fit be perfectly.
The ones with marshmallows dont look good AT ALL but they taste AMAZING. Soft yet chewy and delicious. And the great thing is that you can literally use almost any candy bar, caramel or candy in general you like. I used a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe but just left out the chocolate chip and filled it with the stuff I like. I did 3 different ones but you can do how many you want.
