Snicker Surprise Peanut Butter Cookies
"I found this recipe next to a Snickers coupon. It is absolutely fabulous. The Snickers is hidden inside the cookie so it makes for a nice surprise when you bite in. This cookie works perfectly as part of a Xmas cookie platter. If you are a Snickers fan, you are in for a real treat."

Elmolvsu, I hope you try this recipe again. They went off the plate again. I drizzle chocolate on top then sprinkle powdered sugar. USE 1 CUP OF BUTTER instead of 1/2 cup. That will probably make the difference for your flour. I yield 41 cookies. I don't use a lot of dough around the snickers. I make a ball, flatten it on wax paper, then place the snickers on top and pull the dough up around it and pinch the top together. If you like a soft cookie, 12 minutes baking time would probably be sufficient. Let us know if you have a problem, because these are fabulous and we don't want you to miss out. -
These are the most melt in your mouth cookies I have ever tasted. Boy, was my family impressed! Even without the candy it would make an awesome peunut butter cookie! -
I made these this weekend as part of my annual Christmas cookie frenxy. I was so happy to find this recipe as I have many snickers fans in my family. These cookies are a snap to make and are oh so yummy. This will be in my Christmas cookie file for a long time to come. -
These cookies were good but I don't think the dough was sweet enough for my taste, and it was a little on the dry side. I used Snickers, Rolos and Peanut Butter Cups for the candy in mine. The photo is with Rolos I believe. With all the rave reviews I have to say I was a little disappointed with the end result. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us Angelcakes. Linda

I had one major problem with this recipe - 3 1/2 cups of flour is just too much. I think 2 1/2 cups would have been plenty. The cookie dough was dry and coarse. I wound up adding some milk and kneading it into the batter to soften it up. This helped, but they were very messy. The cookies were a little dry and they cracked as they cookied, but overall the taste was good. One other small thing - the first step in the directions is to preheat the oven and step 6 says to chill for 2 to 3 hours. My oven doesn't take this long to preheat, so I waited to start preheating until I was forming the cookies.

Decaaaaaaaaaaadent:)beautiful soft cookie dough with a luscious filling. Funny enough though, when I was going to make the cookies and was unsure of the butter measurement...voila! there inside the snickers bag was the original recipe. The only substitution was that I used margarine and the recipe in the bag called for 2 sticks (1 cup) and I cut the miniatures in half. Still turned out great...my hubby's son and his friends gobbled them up...Oh...and thanks to angelcakes for her reply.
