My stepmom loves Snickers. When we went on vacation to Sanibel Island, while my daughter was very small, I made up a batch of these yummy cookies. They traveled well, and when we arrived, I don't know whose fingers got into them faster, the stepmom, or the little ones that stood on her tiptoes to reach them up on the counter! These are amazingly good cookies! And while it takes a couple dozen of those wonderful snickers miniature bars, I seem unable to avoid buying extra for snacking while I bake!

How To Make snickers stuffed p.b. cookies

  • 1
    Cream butter and both sugars. Add egg, vanilla, milk, salt and baking soda. Slowly add flour and mix until dough is combined. Chill 30 min.
  • 2
    Oven to 350 degrees. Put parchment paper on cookie sheets.
  • 3
    Scoop dough into your palm, push out a little, put a piece of snickers in the center and roll the dough around it completely. This takes about a heaping teaspoon (from your silverware drawer), but might take just a tad bit more. Put the cookies onto the cookie sheet. Push, very slightly, with a fork, the criss cross pattern like for peanut butter cookies. They won't go down very deep because you have the snickers inside, and you want to make sure they are coated with your cookie dough so you don't lose the yummy gooey snickers when you bake them!
  • 4
    Bake 13-15 min, until they just begin to brown. Let cool by taking sliding the parchment with the cookies on top to the counter or onto a wire rack to cool.

    Not that you will have any left, because I never knew there to be any leftover...but you can store these in the fridge for a few days, or freeze them (make sure to separate them with wax paper so they don't stick together) in ziplock bags or a cookie container that seals (if you plan to give them to someone rather than eat them all up as fast as possible!).
