Milky way cookies. WOWZA! Have you tried these?  My mom makes these milky way cookies all the time and they are delicious!! She brought some over a few weeks ago and I had to snap a picture real fast before they all disappeared. I knew you’d want me to share them with you. ;) These cookies really are AMAZING! They are super soft with loads of milky ways! The chocolate caramel combination is my absolute favorite.

    Awww. I just made them but I over-baked them and they turned out too crispy. XD Ah well, will try to achieve a chewy cookie another day.

    Hiii these look soo good! Quick question though, the two sticks of butter are small sticks right? So about one cup? The reason I ask is because I only get bigger blocks of butter which are equivalent to one cup.

    • Jamielyn posted on January 2, 2014 at 12:04 pm (#

      Yes, it’s one cup of butter! Hope you enjoy these…my family loves them!!

    Can the dough be frozen and baked later? I cannot wait to make these!

      Hi Staci! This dough should freeze well! Hope you enjoy these milky way cookies, they are amazing. :)

    I made these and they taste delicious but they are coming out for the oven very thin! Yours look thick. I tried chilling the dough on the cookie sheet before baking. That did not help very much. What else can I do? Thanks!

    Have you ever frozen these after baking?

      I haven’t but I know a frozen milky way is delicious! :)

    I was wondering how many cookies  does the milky way recipe make with one batch?

      Depending on how big you make the cookies – for me, this makes about three dozen :)

    Got my Milky Ways today and will make these tomorrow for my daughter. They look delish and Milky Way is her favorite candy. Did you use AP flour or self rising? I have both.

      All purpose flour :)
