Pioneer Woman’s Cookie Spread

This is a great recipe for any holiday! I made them obviously for Halloween, but you can change the candies for whatever holiday you are celebrating. These are super simple to make and because they are sweet you can cut them just a little smaller than normal. This makes a sheet pan full so it certainly will feed a lot of hungry friends and family!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1 cup of margarine (I used butter)
1 whole egg
2 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
6-8 ounces chocolate chips
Candies to top, I used M & M’s and candy corn

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together brown sugar and margarine or butter.  Add egg and mix well. Add flour, salt and vanilla mixing well. The dough will be thick. Spread the dough onto a cookie sheet spreading it to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. When slightly brown take then out of the oven add the chocolate chips evenly over the top and put back in the oven for one more minute. Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate I’ve the entire top of the cookie layer and sprinkle evenly with the candies. Place in the fridge to chill and let the chocolate cool completely. When cool remove from the fridge and cut into pieces.

Enjoy!
