These cookies hide a sweet surprise in every bite. With a soft, golden dough and gooey Mars center, they’re a fun upgrade to a classic cookie. Perfect for parties or sweet cravings.
In a medium bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Grease or place parchment paper on 2 baking sheets.
With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Scoop batter by tablespoons onto baking sheet. Add a Mars bite and place another scoop of batter on top. Close up into a ball.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
Allow to cool 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the dough: This helps prevent spreading and makes the cookies thicker. Don't overfill: You don't want the filling to leak out. Seal the edges: Make sure no candy is exposed before baking. Let them cool: The Mars center will be hot and molten straight from the oven.
