Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies packed with gooey caramel, crunchy peanuts, and swirls of chocolate from chopped Snickers bars—an indulgent twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 1/4 cups – Provides structure for the cookies.
  • Baking Soda: 1/2 teaspoon – Adds lift and chewiness.
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – Balances sweetness.
  • Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), softened – Creamy base for the dough.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter: 1/2 cup – Adds nutty richness.
  • Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup – Sweetens and helps crisp the edges.
  • Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup, packed – Adds chewiness and depth.
  • Egg: 1 large – Binds ingredients together.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Enhances flavor.
  • Snickers Bars: 1 1/2 cups chopped (about 4 regular bars) – Gooey caramel, chocolate, and peanuts inside the cookies.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Stir in chopped Snickers pieces.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  6. Finishing Touches: Press a few extra Snickers chunks on top immediately after baking.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

  • Chill dough for thicker cookies if you prefer less spread.
  • Press extra Snickers chunks on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
  • Microwave cookies for 10 seconds to re-melt caramel centers.
