Snickers Cookies

I forgot that I was going to post this recipe until I saw Alison's Snickerdoodle's. Greg calls these cookie's snickerdoodles (for good reason), but they are not what you envision when you think of a snickerdoodle. This was the only recipe I had with me while I was living in Australia, and it was loved by one and all. I made them two weeks ago for a football party and the platter was cleared pretty quickly! If you are a peanut butter/chocolate lover, this ones for you!

Snickers Cookies

1 Cup Butter, softened

1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter

1 Cup Light Brown Sugar

1 Cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1 tsp. Vanilla

3 1/2 Cups Flour

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 Package Snicker's Mini Candy Bars

Combine butter, peanut butter, and sugars in a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and vanilla and thoroughly combine.

Mix in flour, salt, & baking soda. Cover and chill dough for 2-3 hours.

Remove dough from fridge and divide into 1 TBSP pieces and flatten. Form the dough into a ball around each snickers bar. Place on a greased or parchment covered cookie sheet & bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Let cookies cool on a wire rack. You can sprinkle powdered sugar, or drizzle melted chocolate on top... I do both. Just depends on my mood!
