Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 36 mini Snickers bars
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a mini Snickers bar in the center and wrap the dough around it, ensuring the candy is fully enclosed.
Step 7
Roll the dough-wrapped candy into a smooth ball and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Repeat the process until all the dough and candies are used.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar, if desired, for a festive touch.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy the gooey, chocolatey surprise in every cookie!
