Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt into a medium bowl.
Combine butter and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and mix well. Beat in egg yolks one at a time.
Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and beat until well mixed. Fold in candy.

Secret Tip
Short on time? Try using a package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Cut the dough into rounds, then press a bit of chopped candy bar into the center of each one. Bake as the package directs.
