Candy Cookies
Salted spiced chewy cookies with dark chocolate chunks and melty candies.
Ingredients
- 130 grams unsalted butter melted
- 140 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp table salt
- 75 grams dark chocolate finely chopped
- 75 grams candy chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla, until smooth.
- Add flour, espresso, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Fold with a spatula until just combined.
- Add chopped chocolate and candies. Mix until just combined. There should be no visible flour streaks.
- Scoop into 1/4 cup cookie dough balls.
- Place each cookie 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the center looks dry and the edges are lightly golden.
- If desired, press in any additional candies while the cookies are warm, around 5 minutes after pulling them out of the oven.
Notes
For smaller cookies, bake 1.5 tbsp cookies at 375F for 7 minutes.
Candy amount is an estimate, add however much you'd like, and press more on top too! I chose to not mix in any and just press in candies on top, but it's totally up to you.
