Milky way cookies
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.

How wonderful are these? I need them in my life!
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.
love the.ideas
Just made these and they are so yummy. I didn’t have milky ways so I used Snickers, so good!
Yum…snickers would be delicious! I’ve tried them with twix too which turned out yummy! Thanks for your comment Maria!
How many cookies does it make ?
About 2 dozen! :)
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.
Yes, it’s one cup of butter! Hope you enjoy these…my family loves them!!
I just made these for my family of 5 and more than half the batch is already gone. My husband especially likes them and my oldest is convinced I bought them. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!!
I’m so glad your family loved them, thanks for stopping by to leave a comment! These cookies are definitely a favorite in our home, they are always gone way too fast!!
I’m getting my shoes on and heading for the store for the candy! Can’t wait to make them.
Hope you love these as much as we do! YUM!
looking for the recipe that is on the back of the mini m % ms package.
Wanted to make Milky Way cookies purchased full size bars not the minis…..do you you know how many full size bars are needed?
Thanks,
Sue
Hi Sue! It should be 5-6 full size milky ways. :)
Very delicious cookie!
Hi there!
Did you use non-salted or salted butter?
Thanks- they look delicious! :)
Salted! :)
I have made over 250 of these cookies in the last 2 weeks for different functions. They are very delicious and turn out perfect every time!!
I am so glad these turn out so well for you! They are a favorite in my home. Thanks for your sweet comment Sharon! :)
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 :)
Made these Sunday, for following school week. Yeah right, they never made it to Sunday night!!! One word, amazing 😋
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 :)
My children will love them!
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.
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! :)
