This is a great, fun, easy thing for younger kids to make with their friends, for college students to make while they’re studying hard for tests (because that’s all college students do, right? Study?), and for grown, mature adults to make when they need a yummy, warm cookie without leaving much evidence in the kitchen.
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.

Going through the store looking for something quick to fix for V-day with the kids, I remembered this recipe you shared. Thanks so much for the idea and they turned out great!
I bake these every year at Christmas and love the different combinations you can put together with very little fuss.

Okay, these are fantastic. My guy ate a million. My niece wanted my mini muffin pan. I’m like “no way” this recipe is a total keeper. She found her own muffin pan and took the recipe back to college and made them for her friends at school. Great recipe.

I make these with chocolate chip cookie dough and reese pnut butter cups. Delicious and easy!
