Easter Candy Cookies

After Easter, we have so much candy, so I decided to make cookies to use it up. My kids loved them! I used Butterfingers®, Snickers®, Hersheys®, M&M's®, and KitKats®. Next time I am trying Starburst®, Skittles®, etc. Have fun with it.

This is so versatile. You can use cake flour instead of all-purpose.
