Quick Candy Cookies

Submitted by:  June Shockley
I saw these on a food network show called Pioneer Woman with Ree Drummond.  They are very yummy and a great cookie to make with a 3 or 4 year old.  Quick and easy!  No clean up to speak of so, go play a game with that little one while you wait.
 Cooks note:When I made these I had a hard time getting them out of the mini-muffin tin even though I sprayed it very well.  I actually had to put them in the refrigeator to harden up a little so I could get them out.  Also, my quarter piece of dough was large for my tin.  I think next time I might make them in a regular cup cake tin and use cup cake liner papers.  They tasted VERY good.

Ingredients

  •  Refrigerator Cookie Dough
  •  Miniature Chocolate Candies

Preparation Instructions

Slice the cookie dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch slices. Lay the slices on their side and cut them into quarters. Place each quarter into a greased mini-muffin tin. Peel the wrapper from as many pieces of candy as cookies you’re going to make. (Don’t be afraid to try different combinations of candies and dough.)
Bake the cookie dough in a 350-degree oven for just a few minutes, about 6 to 8 at the most. You’ll want to take them out just when they start to turn golden.
Almost as soon as you pull the warm cookies from the oven, begin lightly pressing one piece of candy into each cookie. The warmer the cookies, the better. They’ll grab onto the pieces of candy and work their magic, making the candy nice and soft and melty. And ridiculous.
When they’re all done, carefully remove from muffin tins with a spoon and arrange on a nice decorative platter.
