Mars Bar Surprise Cookies image

This is a recipe my aunt gave me a few years ago. She sold these at a bake sale and they were gone in a few minutes. I use lard in the recipe because it makes for a more moist cookie - you can use butter if you prefer but margarine doesn't work in this recipe at all.

Time 32m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup lard
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 1/4 cups flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
5 Mars bars

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl beat the brown sugar and 3/4 cups of the white sugar with the lard (save the other 1/4 cup of white sugar). Add the eggs and vanilla. Add the cocoa powder and baking powder. Mix in the flour until you have formed the dough.
  • Cut the mars bars into one inch cubes. Take a chunk of the dough and form it into a small cup shape in your hand. Put in a cube of the mars bar and roll the dough around it to form a ball. Roll the ball into the 1/4 cup of white sugar. Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Once you have all the cookies formed and on the baking sheet - bake for 12 minutes. Let them cool before you eat them as the melted caramel middle can burn!
