Soft in the middle, crisp at the edges and packed full of yummy Snickers chunks and extra peanuts. The amount of chocolate I specify could easily be doubled if you are wanting seriously packed cookies! Caramelly, nutty and chocolate-y, these are a fabulous treat for any bake sale/work/ occasion!

As is common on my site, this is a mega versatile recipe. You could absolutely sub the fillings for any similar chocolate and they’ll work just as well. Similarly, feel free to change how big they are to make more or fewer. If you do this, however, make sure to adjust the bake time up or down accordingly. This is a great cookie dough to make ahead and keep in the fridge or freezer (wrap air tight) until needed!

I recommend a minimum of 30 minute chill time, but of course you could make ahead and let chill overnight to bake the next day. The brown sugar and vanilla are crucial to deep flavours and the gorgeous texture. No need to press down before baking. Bake as balls, and add extra chocolate on top just before baking for that Instagram look.

Super Easy Snickers Stuffed Cookies

Top Tips for the Best Super Easy Snickers Stuffed Cookies

  • Butter: Make sure to use melted butter. This really helps the texture.
  • Sugars: The combination of light brown and granulated sugars really contributes to a chewy centre and perfect bake.
  • Filling: I use regular Snickers bars, but any variation will work. I supplement with extra peanuts because I love the salty crunch, but this is optional!
  • Chill Time: I know everyone hates this part but it really helps make the best cookies! Go for 30 minutes if you can. If you are making ahead, overnight is great!

I bake these Super Easy Snickers Stuffed Cookies on classic sheet pans (like these) and always opt for silicone baking mats (these are the ones I use) as they’re better for the planet!

Ingredients

  • 125 g Butter Melted
  • 120 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 100 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Medium Free Range Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 275 g Plain Flour
  • 3 tsp Baking Powder
  • 300 g Snickers Bars Chopped (this doesn't need to be exact!)
  • 100 g Salted Peanuts Chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, using an electric/stand mixer (or hand whisk, just double/triple the times) combine the butter and both sugars on medium speed for several minutes, until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Add the flour and baking powder, plus a pinch of salt, and fold in using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until just combined. The dough should be fairly solid at this stage (it ought to almost form a ball, albeit a very soft one!). 
  • Add the chopped peanuts and Snickers (keep a few back for the end) and stir together. Let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6. Line 2-3 large baking trays.
  • Scoop tsp sized balls of cookie dough – so you have 16 of similar size. Place on the trays, with about 1-2 inches in between (max 4 per tray). 
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, until just golden at the edges. They may look underbaked in the centre but they keep cooking from the residual heat, and this gives them their perfect soft texture. Sprinkle on a few pieces of Snickers if there's any left, just after removing from the oven.
  • Let cool on a wire rack before eating!
