So there was this movie that I was obsessed with called The Pirate Movie. And I used to watch it over and over and over annnnd over. I wanted my hair to be “feathered” like hers. I wanted to be tan like she was. And in that movie she wore this white, off the shoulder dress that I became obsessed with. Like, if I could only have that dress my life would be perfect. Around the same time I was Kristy McNichol-ing it I decided that I also wanted to be Mork. From Ork. I wore rainbow colored suspenders with pins. Out in public. As I got a little older I started relating to non-male, non-Pirate types. Like Alyssa Milano. She was basically the coolest. And at least she dressed 80s-normal. After Alyssa it was Kelly Kapowski. And then Kelly Taylor. Both who could totally pull off the half-shirt/high waisted jeans combo. But since my mother wouldn’t let me out of the house wearing a half-shirt, I was stuck with just the high waisted jeans. High waisted jeans and hair that grew out rather than down. I think I looked a lot more like Mork than Kelly Kapowski. Which explains a lot about my life. There were other obsessions along the way…like the My Two Dads girl, Blair from The Facts of Life and even Wanda Plenn from Doogie Houser. I just knew that if I was one of those girls, I could end up on the cover of Big Bopper and marrying Kirk Cameron and live happily ever after. Luckily none of that happened. When I watch movies or TV nowadays I relate more to people like me now. I mean, elastic pants are so my jam. The fact that I will never be Kelly Kapowski doesn’t stop me from watching TV though, it’s still a bit of a sore spot, but it’s nothing a few cookies can’t quell. So in honor of all my favorite movies and TV shows I made Movie Candy cookies.
It’s basically an homage.
Feel free to adapt if you’re more a Donna Martin or Blanche. These cookies are so great because they’re big and fat and loaded with candy.
How to Make Candy Filled Cookies
Start with butter and peanut butter. Melt them together.
Pour that deliciousness in with some brown sugar, eggs and vanilla… After you’ve added your flour and baking soda, things start to get fun. Go ahead, stick your face in there…
Make the dough into “golf ball” sized dough balls and put them on your baking sheet. You should really sprinkle them with sea salt now. It’s good. OR you can do it after they bake. Up to you!
Now, if you added Milk Duds, you might have a little oozing happen…
