Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, if necessary. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
Step 4
With the mixer off, add the dry ingredients. Mix on low until just combined. Don’t over mix.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped candy bars.
Step 6
Roll 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dough into balls and place them on your prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges barely start to brown. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes. You can gently press additional pieces of candy onto the tops of the cookies for looks. Sprinkle with sea salt.
