Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt (Maldon sea salt flakes recommended)

Add-ins

  • 2 cups cut up Snickers bars or Snickers baking bites
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Using a mixer, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Then add eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and peanuts to evenly distribute these delicious components throughout the dough.
  5. Portion Cookies: Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper, spacing them to allow room for spreading.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are set and slightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack for at least five minutes to firm up before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve: Enjoy these rich and flavorful peanut butter Snickers cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • For best texture, use room temperature butter and peanut butter to ensure smooth mixing.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center for the perfect chewy texture.
  • You can substitute Snickers bars with any caramel and nougat-filled chocolate bars if preferred.
  • Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Cookies can be frozen before or after baking for longer storage. Thaw completely before serving.
