• Bake in the preheated oven until brown and fluffy, 10 to 12 minutes.

LEFTOVER CANDY COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and the sugars until well combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and whisk until just incorporated. Add the flours, starch, baking soda, and salt and stir, scraping the bowl, until everything is well incorporated. Cut your candy into chunks and stir it into the dough.
• Chill: Chill the dough, covered with a clean kitchen towel, for 1 hour in the freezer or 2 hours in the fridge - this is important in preventing the cookies from spreading like crazy when baked. Don't skip this step!
• Bake: Preheat your oven to 325° F. Let the cookie dough sit out for a few minutes if it's too hard to scoop. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop cookies into oversized tablespoons - building the cookie dough balls upward not outward. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until they just barely look done. Don't overbake! They'll set up as they cool on the cookie sheet.
• Serve + Store: Let cool on cookie sheet a 5 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Make ahead tip: Cookie dough can be made ahead a day ahead, scooped into balls, and then chilled in the fridge in an airtight container. (The dough will be hard to scoop if you don't do it before the longer chill.)Unbaked cookie dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for the same amount of time, or add an extra minute if needed - don't thaw them first.
