Snickers Cookies
These Snickers Cookies are crisp, nutty, and chewy, filled with chunks of Snickers candy, crunchy pecans, chocolate and caramel. Easy to make and kid friendly, they make great gifts- that is, if you don't eat them all first!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter, softened
- ¾ cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1½ cup Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chunks, ½ cup reserved
- 1 cup Snickers pieces, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped, 1/3 reserved
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy.
- Add egg and vanilla to creamed sugar and butter mixture.
- Gradually add flour to creamed mixture.
- Stir in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks and 2/3 cup of the pecans.
- Chop your candy bar pieces and mix into batter.
- Use a large cookie or ice cream scoop and place cookies 3” apart on parchment lined baking sheet as these will spread.
- Lightly press cookies to flatten. Press the reserved ½ cup chocolate chunks and reserved 1/3 chopped pecans into tops of cookies.
- Bake 14 minutes. Cookies should be slightly under baked.
- Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
Christina's Notes
- Add Peanuts: If you do not want pecans, you can add peanuts to mimic the candy bar.
- Short cut tip: Make dough ahead of time and keep in the fridge until ready to bake for hot cookies.
- Drizzle: Fancy up your cookie with drizzles of dark, milk or white chocolate on top.
- Alternate ingredient:: Feel free to use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chunks in your cookies if you prefer.
- Alternate cooking method tip: These cookies can be baked in your air fryer if your oven is tied up. They come out great.
- Chilled dough: If you have time, chill your dough before baking as these cookies tend to keep their shape better.
