Super soft chocolate and caramel milky way cookies that literally melt in your mouth.
It’s no secret that I love cookies! I’ve shared so many favorites on my website like my pudding cookies, M&M cookies and a round up of other favorite cookies.
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! 
How to make milky way cookies
The dough may be my favorite part about these cookies. You can either chop the milkways and mix them into the dough or leave them bigger and wrap the dough around them. Just depends if you want a big gooey center.
Once they’re baked they’re pure heaven though, so you have to try both! They are super soft with loads of milky ways! The chocolate caramel combination is my absolute favorite.

The recipe says 22 oz Milky Way, or about 35 minis. My 9.7 oz package of minis has 33. This is a big difference! 22 oz would be 10 “regular” Milky Way bars!
It’s 35 minis! So your 9.7 oz package would be great!
these are some of the best cookies ever, make them all the time for my grandkids, lost count how many times thru these years, Thank you for this recipe
So glad you enjoyed them, we love them too!
I just made a batch of these fantastic cookies. My great grandkids loved them, but so did my “big” kids! Excellent.
I’m so glad they were a hit! Thank you for your comment and review Joanne! :)
Can these be made with premixed sugar cookie dough? I have a ton of that. Could you provide a recipe adjustment for that?
Hi Josh! You definitely could, but the homemade cookie dough will taste much better for these cookies! :) I would just add the milky ways and follow the directions on the premixed sugar cookie dough package.
My children will love them!
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 :)
Made these Sunday, for following school week. Yeah right, they never made it to Sunday night!!! One word, amazing ?
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 :)
Have you ever frozen these after baking?
I haven’t but I know a frozen milky way is delicious! :)
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!
