What is a snickers candy bar? YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
You can get Snickers cheese cake, Snickers ice cream, so it seems that it would be natural that there would be a Snickers cookie… I mean Snickers is my favorite candy bar!
Simple- let’s make a cookie and put a Snickers by inside!
Ingredients
- 1 c. butter
- 1 c. creamy peanut butter
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 t. vanilla
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1 t. baking powder
- 3 c. flour
- Bite size snickers
- Dove Milk Chocolates (or other melt-able chocolate)
- Powdered Sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and baking powder together.
Add sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter.
Cream mixture together.
Add flour. *There is a lot; add in thirds while mixing in. The cookie batter gets a little hard to mix by hand, so use a mixer if you have one available.*
Chill dough for a short 30 minutes. *Not too long- otherwise the dough will dry out.*
While dough is chilling, unwrap your Snickers miniatures.
Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, scoop several balls of dough out and set aside.
Carefully place one Snickers mini on-top of the dough ball and press the snickers in.
Form dough around the Snickers bar.
Roll to ensure entire Snickers is covered with cookie dough.
Place completed cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. (The shorter the better) They should not brown- otherwise they will be too hard.
*I cook mine for only 8 minutes.*
Allow cookie to cool for 2-3 minutes on cookie sheet. Then transfer cookie to cooling rack.
Once you have a rack of cookies cooling - drizzle them with chocolate. (Melt chocolate slowly in microwave or a double boiler on the stove.)
Sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately.
Allow cookies to finish cooling while chocolate dries.
Be sure chocolate is dry before packaging.
ENJOY!
A little history:
Did you know that the Mars family (creators of Mars candy) named the Snickers bar after their pet horse? You won’t find me naming any of my baked goods after a pet…
