Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped Snickers Bars (about 4 regular bars)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture and mix until smooth and well combined for proper binding and flavor enhancement.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough cookies.
  6. Fold in Snickers Pieces: Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars to distribute the caramel, chocolate, and peanuts evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies: Scoop dough balls approximately 2 tablespoons each and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft, ensuring a chewy texture.
  9. Add Extra Snickers: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press a few extra chunks of Snickers on top to enhance the appearance and add more gooey topping.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best experience, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • For a crispier cookie, bake a minute or two longer; for softer centers, reduce baking time slightly.
  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for more texture if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing baked cookies in airtight packaging can preserve freshness for up to 3 months.
  • Ensure Snickers bars are chopped evenly to distribute flavors evenly throughout the cookie.
