Chocolate Snickers Cookies
Teresa’s Bake Shop – Christmas Cookie Extravaganza – 2014
Chocolate Snickers Cookies have it all. They have the most wonderful crunchiness from chopped Snickers bars which, of course, are filled with peanuts and caramel nougat. Plus, since they are chocolate cookies to begin with, you get that extra chocolate flavor that chocolate lover’s enjoy. My husband stocked up on Snickers bars for Halloween so we had BAGS of the stuff left over. It seemed a marriage made in heaven to combine a chocolate cookie with Snickers bars. Yes, indeed. Chocolate Snickers Cookies are awesome.

Well, I have FINALLY finished all my Christmas cookie baking for this year. Yay! I topped out at over 5,100 cookies. They’re all stacked in my freezers until we divvy them up next week. I am relieved to have time on my hands, at last! Now, I can do my Christmas shopping, get my house in order, and even take a nap when I want to. 🙂
I love baking cookies at this time of the year. I can’t wait to share with you all the new and exciting recipes I tried over the past few weeks. If you’re looking for inspiration for your own holiday baking, then stay tuned to my blog for the next week or so. I will be posting recipe after recipe after recipe of festive and beautiful Christmas cookies for your enjoyment!
I had been thinking about ways to use up all those Snickers bars when John overbought for Halloween. Then I realized that John had Snickers bars stashed everywhere. No kidding. I found them in several drawers in our garage refrigerators. I found them in multiple places in our pantry. I even found a couple of bags in his office. Well, I had no mercy. I scooped up all those ers bars (waiting to do a number on his waistline). Instead, I used up almost all of them when I made ten batches of this recipe for our Christmas cookie collection this year.
Chocolate Snickers Cookies are crispy on the outside and crunchy and chewy on the inside. If your mouth waters at the taste of Snickers bars, you’ll love these cookies. While I scooped my cookie dough with an ice cream scoop, these cookies can just as easily be rolled into balls.
Because mine were pretty large, they took longer to bake than a normal cookie. Keep that in mind when you bake them in your oven. The only time consuming thing about this recipe is chopping up the Snickers bars. Other than that, they’re pretty quick and easy. Why not give them a try this Christmas?
Chocolate Snickers Cookies are outrageous! Your family will love eating these amazing cookies this holiday season.
Each cookie is filled with chopped Snickers bars. Yum.
Making a batch of Chocolate Snickers Cookies is a great way to use up all that leftover Halloween candy.
Look at all that chocolaty goodness. Yay!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Soften butter. Add sugar, cocoa, eggs, baking soda, salt and vanilla.
Mix ingredients with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add chopped Snickers bars.
Stir mixture very well with a wooden spoon.
Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Scoop dough with a one-quarter cup cookie scoop and place on greased cookie sheets. You can also roll the mixture into balls.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until cookies test done. These were whopper-sized cookies so they took longer. Check your baking time. If you are only cooking one rack at a time these may be done in 10 minutes!
Chocolate Snickers Cookies are great for Tailgating and Super Bowl parties.
Every bite of these lovely chocolate cookies is filled with chopped Snickers bars providing wonderful peanut butter and caramel flavor.
Get a dose of chocolate, caramel and peanuts in one bite!
These cookies will knock your socks off!
Here’s the recipe.
