QUICK & EASY SNICKER CAKE MIX COOKIES

I chose to make this dessert because I love chocolate and I thought it would be fun to add my favorite candy bar on top of the cookies. I think others would have fun making this because they can pick their favorite chocolate candy bar as the topping on each cookie.—Lily
