Take 5 Stuffed Cookies soft cookies filled with candy bars are sandwiched with fluffy frosting in the middle! It is highly irresistible and very dangerous when eaten warm.

Take 5 Stuffed Cookies Tips
- Use a spring release scoop to ensure all your cookies are the same size. Having them the same size will, not only make prettier cookies, but they’ll bake more evenly as well. This way you won’t have some cookies extra crispy and some with raw centers!
- Place the dough on a silicon mat. I use a Silpat brand. Besides being easier to clean up, using a silicone baking mat allows the cookie to ‘grab’ onto something as it cooks. As a result, it will cook ‘up’ instead of ‘out’. This aids in making a thicker, softer cookie, which I like.
- I then place it in the freezer for at least an hour. This allows the
butter to firm up again. Coldbutter will make a fatter, chewier cookie, just the cookie I like. - Then, when you’re ready to cook, you can take out just a few at a time or cook them all simultaneously. After they’re frozen, I usually remove them from the cookie sheet and store them in an airtight container. They’ll keep frozen for up to 4 months. They won’t last that long, trust me.
- Space the cookies 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will allow the cookies to firm up a little and prevent them from breaking apart when moving them.
- Use real
butter . I used saltedbutter . Unsalted is fine as well. - Cool your cookie sheet between cooking each batch. A hot sheet pan makes the dough melt before getting into the oven, making it bake unevenly. They’ll tend to have thin, crisp edges and thick, undercooked centers.
