How to make snickers cookies
- Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. You'll need flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set the bowl aside.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, sugars, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer, until it's creamy. Mix the eggs into the wet ingredients and beat until light and fluffy.
- Step 3: In multiple portions, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until all dry has been mixed into the wet.
- Step 4: Add chocolate chips and chopped Snickers and mix well.
- Step 5: Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop raw cookie dough balls and place them onto a prepared baking sheet.
- Step 6: Continue scooping cookie dough out onto the baking sheet. Bake and serve these easy Snickers cookies immediately or store them appropriately for the best shelf life.
Recipe Tips
- Once your chewy Snickers cookies have baked, remove them from the baking pan and let the cool on a wire cooling rack. If you leave them on the pan they make continue to bake and become crispy cookies rather than chewy because of the residual heat in the pan.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container. Keep the container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can use full-size Snickers or fun-size candy bars or even leftover Halloween candy.
- You can add chopped caramel bits, peanut butter chips, or extra chocolate chips to the dough.
Recipe Faq's
Yes, you can freeze this cookie dough to use later. I would be sure to freeze the unbaked dough, rather than the baked cookie as the dough will thaw and bake up nicely. Frozen, the unbaked cookie dough should last up to 3 months.
Yes, you can use different chopped-up candy in place of the Snickers. Peanut butter cups, Milky Way, Twix, or a mixture. This is a great way to use up any leftover Halloween candy.
It gives them a soft texture, prevents them from spreading, and makes them somewhat thick (in a good way), but it also contributes to the chewiness factor.
