Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • ½ Cup salted butter (at room temperature)
  • ½ Cup light brown sugar
  • ½ Cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ Cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ¾ Cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ Teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ Teaspoon baking soda
  • 10 mini Snickers bars (chopped)

Peanut Butter Drizzle

  • ¼ Cup creamy peanut butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the dough.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, light brown sugar, and white granulated sugar.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, cream the butter and both sugars together for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack in the egg and pour in the vanilla extract, then mix again until the egg is fully incorporated into the creamed mixture.
  5. Add Peanut Butter: Whisk in half a cup of creamy peanut butter until evenly blended within the dough.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: Reduce mixer speed to low and gently whisk in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until no dry pockets remain and the dough is uniform.
  7. Shape Cookies: Using a standard size cookie scoop (about a #40 scoop), drop balls of dough onto a large baking sheet, spacing them around 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 11 minutes until lightly golden on the edges.
  9. Top With Chopped Snickers: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a few pieces of chopped mini Snickers bars on top of each cookie so they slightly melt into the warm surface.
  10. Add the Peanut Butter Drizzle: Heat the remaining ¼ cup of peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stirring halfway through to ensure even warmth. Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the cookies for an extra peanutty finish.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature to aid in creaming.
  • You can substitute mini Snickers with other chocolate bars like Milky Way or Twix for a different flavor.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Make sure not to overbake cookies; they continue to cook slightly as they cool on the baking sheet.
  • Allow cookies to cool slightly before serving so the peanut butter drizzle sets perfectly.
