Special Sugar Cookies Recipe

Another great recipe idea from the gals at Curves. This one is for a sugar cookie with candy bar filling. Delicious and easy to make any time of year, this recipe can also be an extra special homemade holiday gift from the kids. Wouldn't grandma just love something the kids made themselves? And to top it off, it actually tastes as good as it looks (or better!)

You can make this with your favorite sugar cookie recipe but we made it extra simple for the kids by buying a tube of the premade sugar cookies. I cut the cookie dough into 12 circles and then the kids did the rest.

NOTE: Since we made these just for ourselves, we used the dough as-is which means it will spread out into a flat cookie. With the chocolate inside, it looks a bit like a sombrero. If you want to make it into a pretty ball, you need to add about 1/2 cup flour to the dough first.

Special Sugar Cookie Ingredients:
One 16 oz. tube sugar cookie dough
12 miniature (the really small square ones) chocolate candies (we used milky way)
Colored sugar (optional)

Special Sugar Cookie Instructions:
Cut the tube of cookie dough into twelve rounds. Place the candy in the middle of the cookie dough and then wrap the dough around the chocolate to hide it. Optional - roll in colored sugar for a festive holiday look. Bake according to the instructions on your sugar cookie dough. (approx. 350 for 12 minutes). COOL BEFORE EATING as the center will be hot and gooey.
