Mars Bar Cookies


These cookies are so good! Sweet, sticky and packed full of chocolatey caramel pieces they make a great treat for a cold afternoon, perfect with a cup of tea and a snuggle on the sofa! 

Ingredients: 



225g butter
220g light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
320g plain flour
3 full size mars bars, chopped 

Makes 20 cookies

Method: 

1. Preheat oven to 180 . Line 2 large baking trays 

2. Cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.



3. Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt until just combined. Now add the mars bar pieces and fold again until well distributed in the mixture.


4. Place spoonfuls of mixture on the tray spacing well apart to allow for spreading. Using the back of a wet spoon, lightly flatten the tops.


Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the middles just set. Leave on the tray to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.  


These are very sweet, so definitely not something to be eaten everyday, but they are a great thing to bake for a winter treat or special occasion.


I just had to include this picture of chopping the Mars bars, it was just such an enjoyable thing to do!
