My hobby is collecting dust

Hey there all you cowgirls and cowboys!

I've got a recipe for you, if you can even call it that. Alright, so I'm a little bias. Just as a general rule, I don't use store bought cookie dough. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to shortcuts that take the "cook" out of cooking. But seriously, at what point do you direct your compliments at Pillsbury instead of the woman who put the cake in front of you? Or do you just go on pretending that it still took significant effort to make? "Thanks m'am, that was delicious... you sure did a good job of putting that in the oven."

Reguardless, I'm giving you this recipe because Logan has really taken to it. He's kept us in good supply of the treats, which are quick and easy to make. They consist of some kind of chocolate candy in the center of a ball of cookie dough, cooked in a muffin pan like little tarts. They really are quite cute, and they taste just as you'd expect cookie dough and candy to. The fun part comes in experimenting with which type of candies to put in which cookies. We've had some weird combinations (mint chocolate candy in a peanut butter dough) and some quite yummy ones too (fun size snickers in sugar cookie dough). Have fun trying it out. And be sure to let me know of any great flavors you discover!
