What do you do with leftover Halloween candy? Make Snickers cookies!

I love to bake. All I need is my sidekick daughter, a little inspiration, and butter. Lots and lots of butter.

My baking inspiration with these cookies came from a challenge.

My husband and his co-workers are having a competition to see who can make the best cookie, and of course, we’d like Team Riley to win.

The winner won’t get a cash prize or a plaque.

Instead, we’ll whoever wins will get bragging rights, and that rocks pretty hard, too! I think our Super Simple Snickers Cake Cookies are real contenders, too.

These cookies are soft, moist, and incredibly easy to make.

Initially I was going to make Monster Cookies.

Since Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies became our specialty last year (thanks to lots of tweaking of the recipe until we got it perfect), I thought Monster Cookies with its oatmeal base would be a good way to branch out into uncharted cookie territory.

As I browsed Pinterest for ideas, though, I came across this recipe by Christina’s Adventures and was intrigued by her use of cake mix for cookie batter.

I went on the Betty Crocker site like she suggested, and decided to revise a recipe that I found.

What resulted is, I’m sure, a winning cookie!
