Snickers Surprise Cookies



These little gems will be perfect for the holidays, just wait until you try them. YUM!! I also made these with mini twix's in them and I actually think I like those better? This recipe tells you how to make the cookies from scratch but I actually just bought a tube of peanut butter cookies and used that as the dough instead of making my own. Thanks for the pic Lindsay!

What you need:
1 tube of peanut butter cookie dough
sugar
24 Snickers miniature candy bars
OR
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 Snickers miniature candy bars
extra sugar to roll cookies in

What you need to do:
Preheat oven to 300°F. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, mix together butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and combine thoroughly. Then mix in flour mixture. Cover and chill dough 2-3 hours. To form cookie, scoop a tablespoon of chilled dough and flatten. Place a miniature Snickers in the center and form the dough into a ball around the Snickers. Roll in sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes. (I probably baked mine for 16 minutes??) Cool cookies on a rack. Optional: Decorate cookies with powdered sugar or drizzled melted chocolate or both.
