Snickers is the choice for my next baked good experiment: Snickers Bar Cookies. I picked up these babies for next to nothing on clearance after Valentine’s Day.
Here’s the how-to: Whip up my favorite chunky peanut butter cookie dough, and then roll the dough into little balls. **Please note: I am not a professional hand model. I wish I were. And if you have any skill in reading palms, let me know- I’d be up for hearing what’s in my future.
Pat those cookie balls into little pancakes.
A mini snickers bar is placed on top of each peanut butter cookie pancake.
Wrap those peanut butter cookie pancakes around the snickers. Hide the candy bar completely with the peanut butter cookie dough.
On a cookie sheet, you’re going to lightly flatten the cookie dough wrapped snickers with a sugared fork. Why sugared? Try it without sugar and you’ll realize why 🙂
Criss cross. Just because that’s what you’re supposed to do with peanut butter cookies.
Add a few pieces of chopped snickers on top (you want as much candy bar stuff in this cookie as you can possibly get). I think you’ll agree that it’s best that way.
Here’s the Snickers Bar Cookie- all baked up and ready to eat.
If you eat it warm, you’ll come across ooey-gooey Snickers Bar-stuff inside.
Or plate them, and serve them up later.
I brought these as a little gift for two of my favorite food blogging friends (Jenny and Mandy) when we met for breakfast recently. Mandy had her three beautiful girls with her, and they promptly chowed down on my Snickers Bar Cookies. Kid Approved 🙂 So what do you think? Are candy bars in cookies a good idea? What’s your fave?
