Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 unit large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 24 units mini Snickers candy bars
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Take approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a mini Snickers candy in the center and wrap the dough around it, fully enclosing the candy. Roll it into a smooth ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and Snickers, placing the cookies evenly across the baking sheets.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
If desired, lightly dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
