My review
Peanut Butter "Snickerdoodles"
Jamie
"I grew up thinking that a snickerdoodle involved an actual Snickers, and a white cookie with cinnamon sugar was called something else. I have been educated, but the name still sticks. These are large peanut butter cookies with your favorite fun size candy bar stuffed in the middle. "

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Beat together the butter, peanut butter, 2 cups white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl, stirring until well mixed and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the flour mixture, one cup at a time, into the butter mixture, and stir until you have a smooth dough.
- Scoop up 1/4 cup of dough per cookie, and form it into a ball around a fun size candy bar. Set the balls onto a baking sheet at least 6 inches apart, and flatten each ball with a fork in a cross-hatch pattern, making sure the cookie dough is still fully covering the candy bar. Sprinkle each cookie with about 1/2 teaspoon white sugar.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until the cookies are slightly browned around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note
- If you are using more than one type of candy, it's helpful if you impale the candy with a popsicle stick and write the kind of candy on the side that sticks out. If you don't want to go to all of the effort, these make great normal-sized cookies. Form in 1 inch balls, flatten, and bake 7 to 8 minutes at 375 degrees F/190 degrees C.

These taste great! My mom has made these for a couple years now, she made her own recipe it's pretty cool. She's thinking of trying different candy bars next time too.

These are delicious! I cooked them without the candy but they were still very yummy! I have a gas stove so I baked mine at 350 degrees and ten minutes only and they were perfect!
