SNICKERS BAR COOKIES
www.RecipeGirl.com

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (11.5 ounce) package Snickers Miniatures (or similar amount cut into chunks)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet or two with parchment paper or silpat mats.

2. In a large bowl, combine butter, peanut butter and sugars using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Mix flour into peanut butter mixture; mix until just combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough for at least 2 hours.

3. Unwrap Snickers. Shape dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 rounded Tablespoon). Flatten ball in your hand and place a mini Snickers Bar on top. Wrap dough around the candy and place on cookie sheet. Use a sugared fork to criss-cross the top of the cookie and press down slightly. Cut up some extra, smaller chunks of Snickers Bar and place 2 or 3 on top of each cookie. Spread out the cookies so that there are only 6 or 8 per cookie sheet (they’ll spread out a bit).

4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are set.

Yield: About 20 cookies
