Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 24 mini Snickers bars
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Take about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place one mini Snickers bar in the center and wrap the dough around it, ensuring the candy is completely covered. Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the tops of the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
