Description
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
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Stir in chopped Snickers pieces.
- Assemble the Dish: Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Finishing Touches: Press a few extra Snickers chunks on top immediately after baking.
- 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.
