Diet Busting Snickers Cookies
Peanut butter cookies stuffed with a mini Snickers bar and drizzled with melted chocolate.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup soft butter
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ c. flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 10 oz mini sized Snickers candy bars (30 mini candy bars)
- ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In large bowl, cream butter, sugars, and peanut butter. Beat in vanilla and egg.
- Combine dry ingredients and add to peanut butter mixture. Stir just until blended.
- Shape dough around each candy bar, making sure the candy is completely covered. Place on silpat lined or well greased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350° for about 12 minutes, or till slightly golden. Cool for 2-3 minutes and remove from to cooling racks.
- Melt chocolate chips at half power in the microwave. Place in a ziplock bag and snip the corner. Drizzle chocolate over the top of each cookie.
Notes
- The original recipe called for creamy peanut butter, but I have also used crunchy with great results. Use whatever you have on hand.
- Make sure you cover the candy completely, or when it melts it will ooze out and make a mess on your cookie sheet.
- These look really pretty drizzled with melted chocolate chips, but they are also seriously delicious without it!
