Description
Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies loaded with gooey Snickers chunks for the perfect combination of salty and sweet. These cookies are quick, easy, and a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (about 3–4 chopped Snickers bars)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix again until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be thick but soft.
- Fold in the chopped Snickers bars, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked—this is perfect to achieve a chewy texture!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Room temperature ingredients ensure a smoother dough.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Chop Snickers into small pieces for even distribution.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Bake a single cookie first to test spreading and adjust dough size or chilling time accordingly.’]
