Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature or softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup chopped Halloween Candy

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • Add the wet ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to blend. Be sure your butter is room temperature or softened.
  • NOTE: You can also use a standing mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the chopped candy.
  • Mix into a soft cookie dough.
  • Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to drop cookie dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet. (I line mine with parchment paper.)
  • Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and place onto a cooling rack. Some Halloween candy can get very hot when melted so do not eat the cookies until they are cooled.

Notes

  1. I used King Arthur Measure for Measure to test these cookies. Other blends should work, but note if your blend is starch-heavy, you may need additional butter.
  2. Use any Halloween candy, but stick with chocolate types and avoid candy like Jolly Ranchers. I used Snickers and Reeces Pieces.
  3. Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. 
  4. Freeze these cookies in a zip-style freezer bag.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
