Halloween Cookies

What's better than a chocolate chip cookie with chocolate candy in it? Mmmmm!!!
Halloween Candy Cookies:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2-3 cups chopped candy bits (I used Snickers, Peanut M&Ms, Pretzel M&Ms, regular M&Ms, Kit-Kats, 100 Grands, Twix...all great things!!)
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Beat butter and sugars together with a mixer until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Reduce sped to low. Add flour mixture and mix just until combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Stir in candy bits.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Drop dough by tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
My adorable new cake stand from Aunt Erin :)
I also couldn't resist and had to do some Halloween Sugar Cookies!! So cute :)
