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.

¾ cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped Easter candy, or more to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine shortening and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until creamy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla extract; beat until creamy.

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, about 11 minutes.

Cook's Note:

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