Introducing my all-time favorite cookies… Snickers Cookies! These define delicious. They are seriously so good! And addicting too… Just imagine biting into a soft and yummy peanut butter cookie with a mini snickers bar melted inside of it. Warm, smooth, and caramelly… Every bite is heaven. :)
Snickers Cookies
Submitted by Erin
½ c. sugar
½ c. firmly packed brown sugar
½ c. butter, room temperature
½ c. creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 ½ c. flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
30 mini sized Snickers candy bars (about one bag)
In large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter. Add vanilla and egg. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and add to peanut butter mixture. Shape dough smoothly around each candy bar, making sure the bar is completely covered, without having a lot of excess dough. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350°, check at 12 minutes, and take out when they are slightly golden. Cool a minute or so and remove from cookie sheets. Delicious served warm.

mmm… those do look delicious. Griff and I are both staring at the screen with our mouths watering. You may have inspired a trip to the store for mini snickers. :)
Ok, I have been craving these for awhile now, and we finally made them tonight. Very sweet and yummy!
I just made these and they are super yummy! I tried some with Reese’s inside, and that is also fantastic. Thanks for a great recipe!!
Can I make this recipe without the peanut butter. I’m not a big fan. However, I love the Snickers cookie idea.
Hi Jasmin,
If you don’t like peanut butter cookies, then just make regular chocolate chip cookies but instead of adding the chocolate chips, hide the snickers inside. This is similar to what we did with these two recipes:

You can use any of these recipes for a basic cookie dough. You can leave the chocolate chips in, if you want to, although I would probably opt to leave them out if you’ll be hiding a Snickers inside the cookies. Then you can wrap the dough around your snickers and try it that way. Happy Baking!
