Snickers Candy Bar Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
This recipe calls for creaming softened unsalted butter with tightly packed brown sugar and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, then incorporating eggs one at a time and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, and salt are folded in, followed by semi-sweet chocolate chips. The cookie dough can be chilled for firming but can also be shaped directly into balls.
For each cookie, pieces of Snickers bar are placed in the center of the dough ball before baking, preventing caramel from melting out on the edges and keeping it contained inside. The cookies bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes until golden but still soft in the center.
The result is a cookie with a tender crumb and pockets of melted chocolate and caramel with peanuts from the Snickers bars. The method of adding candy bars inside enhances distribution and texture consistency across cookies. Using light-colored baking sheets helps achieve even baking without overbrowning.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Snickers Bars (chopped and tightly packed)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy and pale yellow in color.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. If you have time, tightly wrap the dough in Saran Wrap and let chill in the refrigerator. If not, roll the cookies into balls and place on parchment paper or Silpat lined baking sheet. I suggest light-colored baking sheets.
- Place the Snickers bars chunks into the center of each cookie dough ball. I would suggest at least 3-4 pieces of Snickers in each cookie. By placing in the center of the cookie dough ball, it helps to keep the caramel from spreading on the sides. I prefer to manually place the Snickers Bars into the cookie dough after I place them onto the baking sheet. This also helps to evenly disperse the Snickers Bars throughout the cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before removing from the baking sheet. When removing from the oven, you can always carefully add a few more Snickers Bars chunks on the top of the cookie.
