Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies

Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies – Candy bar cookies have a unique chewy texture.  The chunks of candy melt into the cookie dough and as it cools it forms a chewy nougat in the cookie.  The smell of fresh cookies baking in the oven signals the feeling of homespun comfort no matter what language you speak.  Words just aren’t necessary.

I love using this batter recipe and mixing in the candy of choice to personalize it. Candy bar mixed-ins make for a spectacular treat. The cubed Peanut Butter Snickers melt into the batter making these cookies chewy and decadent.  Throw in a few extra peanuts, and it’s warm, fresh from the oven love!

Ingredients you’ll need:
1 cup [2 sticks] softened butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 [12 oz] pkg fun size peanut butter snickers, cubed
1/2 cup sea salted cocktail peanuts, roughly chopped

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla.  Cream for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
