• 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 teaspoon powdered vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Candy Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter or margarine, softened
1 large egg
Candy Cookie Mix
1 cup candy bar chunks (Reese's peanut butter cups, Butterfinger bars, white or milk chocolate chunks)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until it is smooth. Add the egg, and continue beating until the egg is combined. Add the Candy Cookie Mix and candy bar chunks and blend on low just until the cookie mix is incorporated. Form the cookies into 1 1/2 inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden on the edges. Remove from oven, and cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes.
