Time for everyone to be honest with me. Do you sneak your kids Halloween candy as much as I do or am I the only mother who feels it’s OK to steal from her own children? Don’t get me wrong, I always ask first but they tell me no, or offer me something lousy like Twizzlers. They really leave me no choice but to quietly stalk their hiding place, pick through their overflowing buckets of candy and find just the right one.
Of course, my kids have enough candy to last them until next Halloween but they will find a way to devour it in a matter of days. I think it would be great to take some of their chocolate candy, chop it up and use it in these cookies instead of the chunks. Now if I can only stop eating it long enough to try that great idea…..
These cookies are very impressive in size (4 1/2″ diameter) and taste. Definitely one of the best chocolate chip cookies to come from my oven. The recipe calls for chocolate chips, but I use chunks because they give the cookies that great thickness and texture to the finished cookies because they are bigger. I also love how easy they are to make because they use melted butter. The only downfall of this recipe is that since they are so huge, you have to let them completely cool on the baking sheet so they can finish cooking. I only have two sheets which means a long wait between batches in the oven.
