Candy Bar Sugar Cookies

This Frosted Candy Bar Sugar Cookie is a fun way to enjoy your favorite candy bar and cookie in one!

Some of our other favorite sugar cookies include this Angel Sugar Cookies.  Lemon Sugar cookies are a fun flavor twist along with these Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies.

Candy Bar Sugar Cookies

Next to a chocolate chip cookie, a frosted sugar cookie is  my favorite.  A sugar cookie must have frosting, it’s required at our house.  Today’s recipe for a frosted candy bar sugar cookie meets all my requirements for a good sugar cookie.  It’s  crispy on the edges but chewy in the middle and it has frosting.

Butterfingers are a favorite at our house but a Heath bar would be pretty yummy too.  You want the candy bar to have a little crunch to it.

My cookie cravings usually lean towards chocolate chip but sometimes nothing will quite do but a good frosted sugar cookie.  There is a deli that is about an hour from my home that sells my favorite sugar cookie.  I made my own copycat version here.  The deli is on the way to my  mother’s house, and I love to time it so I can make a stop at the deli and pick up my favorite frosted sugar cookie when I go up to see my mom.

This frosted candy bar version is definitely a new favorite at our house and I can’t wait to try the recipe with some of our other favorite candy bars.
