Halloween Candy Cookies

[missy'smom]

Ds has a few days off from school next week so we are going to continue a new tradition that we started last year and bake cookies with a mix of chocolates from his Halloween loot-M+M's, coarsely chopped chocolate bars etc. We use this choc. chip cookie recipe, but you can use your favorite one.

1c. sugar

1/2 c. brown sugar

2 sticks margarine

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 rounded tsp. xanthan gum

1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix

2 3/4 c. gluten-free flour blend

6 oz. semi-sweet choc. chips or various chocolates and chocolate candies

Chill dough 1 hr. Drop by teaspoonfulls onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 min. Makes 6 dozen cookies. Make 1/2 a batch by carefully dividing the pudding mix and saving half for next time or mix different things into parts of the dough so that you have a variety of cookies.

I was thinking that about any candy pressed into the no flour peanut butter cookies would be good!
