Snickers Cookies


Sounds yummy, right? I found the recipe on cookiemadness.net and loved the ingredients list: butter, peanut butter, honey, miniature Snickers bars. However, the texture and flavor of the dough is lacking. I'm posting the original recipe here, but next time I'll omit the honey (you can't taste it) and use more sugar and butter. I'll also increase the amount of peanut butter and add in vanilla extract. The concept is good, but it needs some refining.

Snickers Cookies
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp. milk
24 miniature Snickers bars

1. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter and peanut butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat in honey and milk until well combined. Mold roughly 1 tablespoon of dough around candy, and place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
2. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.

Makes 24
