Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies with Candy

Cookies are made of butter and love. ~Norwegian Proverb

Cookies and Candy... Dished out together... Spell love backwards or forwards... Only when you love so much,can you put so much chocolate into a cookie. And I also added m&m 's and Snickers Bars... Little coloured bits of goodness and chocolate! Added to the chunks of chocolate that are just about melting in your mouth... then there were some with cut up snickers bars in their centres... Mush and more! I'd hoarded a packet of m&m's and some fun size snickers bars for a while now...trying not to eat them because of the calories they contain... And then I thought...WTH- I can do a few more rounds of yoga... There were the aromas of melting butter and warm chocolate and melting caramel and peanuts...

My whole house was brimming with the goodness...
Sweet Child was trying his best to study for his last exam -science...all that chemistry and those chemicalk reactions going on in the oven were wrecking havoc with his chemistry lesson...
Well...
These too were important!
Chocolate and candy always is!
These were a wee bit healthy too!

I was de stressing...
Making dough when all the people at home had gone to sleep...working in a sinisterly,whispery,quiet way...tip toeing around the kitchen...
Fortunately, my kitchen is a good 20 yards away from the bed rooms...so even the falling lids and stuff dont disturb ...the only thing I'll abstain from is baking...the aromas fly!
I had company, sweet dog Romeo kept me company all throughout...baring his uneven denture and licking his lips when he smelt the candy and the butter and the chocolate...I did drop some cookie dough...just to keep him happy!
Well, I thought Id be able to cream the butter and sugar with my whisk...hands are better...

ANd now bring it all together by kneading the sweet stuff into the cookie dough...
And ideally shape the cookies now...whether you intend baking now or freezing them and baking later...I made a roll...and I had to shape the cookies the next day...pointless!

So the next day...

Just in case ...the m&m's looked sooooooo cute!

I chopped the snickers bars into three and kneaded the chopped white chocolate into the second part of the dough...

The snickers I enclosed into the cookie dough...

Got 12 cookies filled with snickers and 12 with m&m's...Dumped in the fridge over night.

Next morning...
Oven pre heated to 180C/350 F...
I did not wait for the cookies to come to room temp...just laid them bare on the cookie trays and ....

Cookie trays in and cookie trays out...

15 minutes...and out at the soft stage...The cookies should be soft and just a wee bit undercooked...they cook while cooling too!

Lift them off with a metal spatula and Cool on a wire rack...
I drizzled some melted milk chocolate over the the still warm snickers cookies...
