When I make cookies, I always use the same base recipe.  Why this one?!  I've tried MANY chocolate chip recipes over the years and this one has been the BEST one, the softest, chewiest, most perfect cookie you could possibly bake.  So why change? #perfection  Then I mix in everything and anything I have in my pantry!  It's the best way to A. clean out your pantry and B. try new cookie recipes!  It's super easy, no measurements required (for this part) and the sky's the limit! 

I made a batch of what I like to call "Candy Bar Cookies" because when you take a bite, it's like the flavors of 4 candy bars at once, and WHO doesn't like that!??! Take a peek!

Candy Bar Cookies

Serves: 24 large cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks (Or your preference)
• 10 oz. Snickers Baking Bites
• 10 oz. Butterfinger Baking Bits
• 10 oz. Reese's Peanut Butter Chips 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In the bowl of an electric or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed.
3. Add eggs one at a time and mix.
4. Add vanilla and mix.
5. In a separate bowl, SIFT together flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt. 
6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed until just incorporated.
7. Mix in the chocolate chunks, Snickers Bites, Butterfinger Bits and Reese's Peanut Butter Chips.
8. Scoop the dough using an ice cream scoop into your hand then divide it in half and put it back together with the pulled sides facing upwards. (This will give your cookie a more rustic, bakery style look.) 
9. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
10. Place six of the dough balls at a time onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes. The edges of the cookies will just be turning golden brown, and the center will be soft. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
