Snickers Peanut Butter Cookies

recip


  • 1–2 Snickers bars, chopped into small chunks
  • Optional: 1/2 cup caramel bits, chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Cream the Peanut Butter and Sugars

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Fold in the Mix-Ins

  1. Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bar chunks (and optional caramel bits, chocolate chips, or peanuts) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Scoop and Shape

  1. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  2. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

6. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve these decadent, nutty cookies as a standalone treat or pair them with a glass of cold milk for the ultimate snack.
  2. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: High-quality peanut butter and fresh Snickers bars make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Add Extras: Stir in white chocolate chips, pretzels, or marshmallows for added texture and sweetness.
  • Double the Batch: These cookies disappear quickly—make extra to keep everyone happy!
  • Freeze for Later: Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
