Instructions

  • Beat butter (3/4 cup) and shortening (1/3 cup) at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars (1 cup sugar + 2/3 cup), beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs (2) and vanilla (2 teaspoons), beating until blended.
  • Combine flour (2 cups) and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in cookies (2 cups), candy bars (3 bars), and chocolate chips (1 cup). Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls (I used a large cookie scoop) 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets.
  • Bake in a 350ºF (177ºC) preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until barely set. Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  1. Texture tip: The butter-shortening combo gives these cookies a soft, bakery-style crumb that lasts for days — even longer if you store them in an airtight container.
  2. Don’t overbake: When the centers still look a bit soft, that’s your cue! Overbaking will make them dry instead of gooey.
  3. Mix-ins made easy: Coarsely chop the Oreos and Mounds bars. The mix of textures — crunchy, chewy, melty — is what makes these cookies irresistible.
  4. Perfect portioning: A large cookie scoop gives uniform size and even baking. These are meant to be indulgent — big, chunky, and satisfying!
