Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 full-size Snickers bars, chopped into small chunks (reserve some for topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (optional)
- Optional: Drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel sauce for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Chop Snickers bars into small chunks and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in most of the chopped Snickers and peanuts, reserving some for topping.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Press down gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Top each with reserved Snickers and peanuts.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel if desired.
Notes
- Chill dough before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
- Refrigerate Snickers bars before chopping for easier handling.
- Dough can be prepared and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
