**Candy Cookie Mix**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup assorted chopped candies (such as chocolate bars, candy-coated chocolates, or caramel-filled chocolates)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Gently fold in the chopped candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
