Candy Bar Cookies

So that we are all on the same page, I am a college student. Since I currently live on campus, I have one of the meal plans. This particular plan give me 350 Blocks per semester. Each Block is $5. We are coming up on summer and the end of school and I still have 43 Blocks. I am on campus for a total of 4 more days. I need to spend $50 dollars a day on food for four days. 

Since I have so many blocks, there are a few things I can do. I can buy a lot of food (and I mean A LOT of food) or I can donate blocks to the local food bank. I will probably be donating a fair amount of blocks to the food bank, but I have the ability to indulge my baking needs with my excess blocks.

Unfortunately, most of what I can buy is already pre made. Because of this, I like to get creative. 

Cookie dough, the pre made tubes of it, are a common addiction of late night snackers, at least on this college campus. I prefer to make cookies from scratch but because of my Block situation I decided to get creative with pre made cookie dough and candy bars.

I call them Candy Bar Cookies. Simply chop up the candy bars, add them to the cookie dough, either on top or folded in the cookie dough. I did both since I wanted to be able to tell which cookie had each of the candy bar flavors.

I used four candy bars (Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kats, 3 Musketeers, Snickers) and peppermint patties. I ended up using two tubes of pre made cookie dough since I had too many pieces of candy bars. The result was 38 candy bar cookies. The peppermint pattie pieces melted and turned into white goop and stuck to the parchment paper. However, personally, the peppermint pattie cookies were my favorite, the other flavors were more subtle.
