Soft, chewy, and loaded with caramel, chocolate, and peanuts — these Snickers Cookies taste just like your favorite candy bar in cookie form. Perfect for bake sales, lunchboxes, or whenever you crave something sweet and satisfying.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add the Snickers:
Fold in the chopped Snickers pieces (and optional chocolate chips or peanuts). Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for best results.
Scoop and Bake:
Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Cool and Serve:
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Chill the dough before baking to keep cookies thick and chewy.
Sprinkle sea salt over warm cookies for a sweet-and-salty twist.
Freeze extra dough balls for a quick treat later — bake straight from frozen.
