Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 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
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Snickers bars (about 4-5 bars)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven (5 minutes):
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Prepare the cookie dough (15 minutes):
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients (5 minutes):
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add the Snickers pieces (5 minutes):
- Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the cookies (5 minutes):
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball with your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Bake the cookies (10-12 minutes):
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Cool the cookies (10 minutes):
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra indulgent touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, making them perfect for preparing ahead of time.
