🕰️ A Sweet History

The peanut butter cookie has been a classic American treat since the early 20th century, growing popular after peanut butter itself became more commercially available. By the 1930s, these cookies were a staple in homes across the U.S.

On the other hand, the Snickers bar, created in 1930 by Mars, Inc., brought together peanuts, nougat, caramel, and chocolate to become one of the world’s top-selling candy bars.

The genius idea of combining the two? That’s a modern-day marvel of baking creativity – a celebration of flavor fusion that turns everyday ingredients into pure joy.

🧈 Ingredients (Makes ~48 cookies)

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups chopped Snickers bars (about 12 fun-size bars)
  • Optional: ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra richness

🥄 Method & Instructions

🔧 Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

  • Chop your Snickers bars into small chunks. Place in the fridge while you prep to prevent melting during mixing.

🧁 Step 2: Cream the Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Add peanut butter, then beat until fully incorporated.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  • Add vanilla extract and mix.

🌾 Step 3: Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.

🍫 Step 4: Add Snickers Love

  • Fold in chopped Snickers bars (and chocolate chips if using).
  • Cover and chill dough for at least 30 minutes for best results.

🔥 Step 5: Bake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop dough by tablespoons (or a cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Centers may look slightly underbaked – that’s perfect!

🧊 Step 6: Cool

  • Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

❤️ Cookie Lovers’ Notes

  • Soft or Crispy? For softer cookies, don’t overbake. For crispier edges, extend baking by 1-2 minutes.
  • Chunk Size: Chop Snickers small enough to distribute but big enough to leave gooey pockets.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

💡 Formation Tips

Want next-level presentation? Try these:

  • Top each cookie with a mini Snickers chunk before baking for a signature look.
  • Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies for a gourmet finish.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for sweet-salty contrast.
