Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies

As you can see, there is caramel oozing out of the top of this cookie and you are probably wondering to yourself, what is this little piece of heaven??? Well folks, this is a peanut butter chocolate chip snickers cookie. Yes there is a snickers piece of candy in the middle! How do you make these wonderful concoctions, you ask? Well, let me give you the recipe :)

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
approx 12 snickers

Liz and I used 18 snickers, just for a heads up! Also, buy the big bag because these cookies are so amazing you are going to want to make two batches! We also contemplated different candies to put in the middle, so those will be soon to come! In the first batch we made we didn't have enough regular peanut butter so we added some natural peanut butter. The second batch we made was all regular peanut butter. The second batch was greasier than the first and also tasted better!
DISCLAIMER: DON'T USE NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT GET A FOODGASM!


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter. Beat until smooth. Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt (not all at once). Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Take a large chunk of dough, flatten on baking sheet and place snicker in the middle. Wrap dough around the snicker until it is covered. Space 1'' apart on baking sheet.
4. Bake for about 12 minutes until cookies turn light brown color and the bottoms will slide off baking sheet.

Also, it called for using parchment paper on the baking sheet. We didn't so I don't think it's 100% necessary.
