Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (1 stick/113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 24 Mini Snickers bars (or cut regular-sized Snickers into small pieces)
Sugars:
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Flavor Enhancers and Leavening Agents:
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for your cookies.
- Utilize an electric mixer to blend peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture achieves a silky, whipped consistency.
- Introduce egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture, blending thoroughly to create a uniform base.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually integrate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to maintain a smooth texture without overmixing.
- Delicately incorporate chopped Snickers pieces throughout the dough, ensuring an even distribution of chocolate and caramel nuggets.
- Craft uniform dough balls using a cookie scoop, positioning them spaciously on prepared baking sheets and gently flattening with fingertips or the back of a spoon.
- Slide the trays into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers appear set.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for a brief 5-minute cooling period before transferring to wire racks, enabling complete cooling and optimal texture development.
- Serve these indulgent treats alongside a refreshing beverage, savoring the rich combination of peanut butter and Snickers chocolate.
Notes
- Soften butter and peanut butter at room temperature to ensure a smooth, creamy mixing process without lumps.
- Chop Snickers bars into small, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout the cookie dough for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Use fresh, high-quality peanut butter for the most robust and rich nutty taste that complements the chocolate and caramel from Snickers.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make the cookies accessible to those with wheat sensitivities.
