Delightful Snickers Peanut Butter Cookies: A Match Made in Heaven
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 Snickers bars, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Mixture: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a dough forms.
5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, flatten them slightly, and place a Snickers bar in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the candy, enclosing it completely.
6. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a bit of space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these gooey, peanut-buttery Snickers Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee!
Notes
Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, make sure your butter, eggs, and other ingredients are at room temperature before you begin baking.
Don’t Overmix the Dough: Be mindful not to overmix the cookie dough, as this can lead to tough, dense cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) can help the cookies maintain their shape and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
Adjust Baking Time: Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your cookies during the baking process and adjust the time as needed to achieve the perfect golden-brown color and soft, chewy texture.
Let Them Cool Completely: Resist the temptation to dig in right away – allowing the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet and then on a wire rack will help them set and achieve the optimal texture.
