Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 unit large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 24 units mini Snickers candy bars
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Take approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a mini Snickers candy in the center and wrap the dough around it, fully enclosing the candy. Roll it into a smooth ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and Snickers, placing the cookies evenly across the baking sheets.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, lightly dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
