Description

These Milky Way cookies are extra thick and chewy, baked deep-dish-style in a muffin top pan! They’re loaded with melty Milky Way candy bars and are seriously irresistible.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 (11.24 ounces) bag of fun-sized Milky Way bars, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Prepare your muffin pan by first spraying with cooking spray, next lining each tin with a parchment round. (Cut the parchment to fit in the bottom of the pan) and then spraying the parchment again lightly. Set aside.
  3. Mix the butter and sugars together in your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt and mix for 30 seconds, or until combined and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  4. Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour. When just mixed together, fold in your chopped Milky Way.
  5. Press 1/4 cup the cookie dough into each muffin top and bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is JUST set.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and flip the cookies onto a wire cooling rack.

Notes

  • If you make these without using a muffin top pan, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Space the cookies out 2 inches apart and drop by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes until edges are golden.
  • This recipe makes approximately 12-15 “deep-dish” cookies, or 24 regular drop cookies (large-size).
