Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or softened butter
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 18 snack-size Caramel Apple Milky Way Bars unwrapped

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and coconut oil (or softened butter). Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, then beat until creamy.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, flour, and oats. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Take a portion of dough, flatten it, and place a Milky Way bar in the center. Wrap dough around it and roll into a ball.
  7. Place cookie balls on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for longer storage; bake straight from the freezer.
  • Separate layers of baked cookies with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
