Candy Bar Cushions

Makes about 72

1 cup softened margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
8 Hershey bars

Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Blend together margarine, sugar and vanilla. Beat in egg. Add flour. Beat until well blended. Using a cookie press and the bar attachment, fill the cookie press with dough. Press half of the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets with the ridge side down. Break candy into individual pieces. Place on dough spacing them evenly. Cover with strips of dough with the ridge side up. Score lightly between candy pieces. Bake 12-13 minutes or until lightly brown on edges.

Would make this again.
Just tried this recipe and had mixed results. They taste great and were very fast to put together, but when I baked them they turned into puddles of dough with chocolate lumps. They didn't keep any of the shape that the cookie press had originally given them. I basically ended up with a giant pancake with lumps. But again, the recipe tastes great anyways. three stars

This is an easy recipe to make. Although my cookie press did not come with the 'bar' cookie disc, I was able to use one of the other cookie disc to make these wonderful cookies. They remind me of shortbread cookies. They are absolutely delicious. five stars
