- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 8 fun size bars Milky Way
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator - covered - for an hour minimum.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 2T sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Pull the cookie dough balls apart in the middle to place one half of a Milky Way bar into the center. Fold the cookie dough back around the candy bar to cover completely.
- Sprinkle cookies with sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
