Chocolate Pillows

Chocolate-filled strips made with a cookie press.

Makes about 48

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
10 Nestle's chocolate candy bars
chocolate jimmies (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Sift flour and salt together. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar. Beat until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Stir in dry ingredients. Using a cookie press with the saw-tooth plate, press dough into long strips onto ungreased cookie sheet. Break up candy bars into 1-inch pieces. Place 1/4-inch apart on top of dough. Press another strip of dough over candy, covering completely. Sprinkle with chocolate jimmies (optional). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cut into bite-size pieces immediately. Cool cookie sheets completely between batches.

I did something wrong, but I can't figure out what. My cookie dough was super crumbly and fell apart. Anyone know why that could have happened? I was so excited for these cookies too! Argh.

I LOVE these cookies-my old 1960s Mirro screw type cookie press finally broke. Can you get the long ribbon of dough you need for these cookies from any of the new pump type presses out there now?

RESPONSE: I can't tell you about the new presses, but you can find an old 1960s Mirro cookie press for just a few dollars on eBay. five stars

I made these for my family and friends in our Christmas Cookie Club and everybody LOVED them. I substituted After Eight chocolates for the inside and put crushed candy cane on top for decoration. Yummy! five stars
