Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (177 ml) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (1 stick/113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups (219 g) all-purpose flour
- 24 mini Snickers bars (or cut regular-sized Snickers into small pieces)
- ¾ cup (165 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie release.
- Mixture Fusion: Cream peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar using an electric mixer until achieving a luxurious, whipped texture.
- Binding Elements: Fold in egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to create a cohesive base that will bind the cookie’s structure.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually fold into the wet mixture, maintaining a smooth consistency without overworking the dough.
- Snickers Incorporation: Gently fold chopped Snickers pieces throughout the dough, ensuring an even distribution of chocolate and caramel fragments.
- Shaping and Positioning: Form uniform dough balls using a cookie scoop, placing them generously on prepared sheets and delicately flattening with fingertips.
- Baking Transformation: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers appear set, allowing the cookies to develop a perfect texture.
- Cooling Protocol: Rest cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to complete cooling and stabilize their structure.
- Serving Suggestion: Present these decadent treats with a complementary beverage, celebrating the rich fusion of peanut butter and Snickers chocolate.
Notes
- Prevent Dough Overworking: Mix dry ingredients gently into wet mixture to maintain cookie tenderness and avoid tough, dense texture.
- Manage Candy Distribution: Chop Snickers into consistent small pieces to ensure even chocolate and caramel spread throughout each cookie.
- Control Baking Time Precisely: Watch cookies closely during 10-12 minute window; golden edges signal perfect doneness without burning delicate edges.
- Temperature Adaptation: Let ingredients like butter and egg reach room temperature before mixing to create smoother, more cohesive cookie dough that blends effortlessly.
