These Candy Bucket Cookies courtesy of the Food Network are a great way to enjoy leftover Halloween candy. Yields 20 cookies.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 1/2 sticks salted butter (melted, then cooled slightly), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 large egg and 1 large egg yolk. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in 2 cups chopped leftover candy.
Use an ice cream scoop to add dough to prepared baking sheets. Bake until slightly golden and puffy, around 14 to 17 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then enjoy.
