    Snickers Cookies

    Halloween is going to look a little different this year but one thing’s not going to change: Halloween candy! 

    We simply cannot resist buying those special boxes of Halloween chocolate and candy bars. Who says Halloween treats are just for kids?

    We regret it as soon as we get home, of course. Because now we have 200 pieces of chocolate to eat all by ourselves lol. 

    I do love baking with candy bars though. And these Snicker surprise cookies are in my top 3.

    Soft and chewy, easy to make, always a hit. They’re perfect for your Christmas cookie tray too. 

    Ingredients for Snickers cookie recipe

    Snickers Cookies Recipe

    To make this Snickers cookie recipe, you’ll need Snickers Minis (regular-sized Snickers bars or Snickers bites will work too).

    In addition, you’ll need pantry staples:

    • All purpose flour
    • Cornstarch
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
    • Unsalted butter
    • Brown sugar
    • Egg
    • Vanilla extract

    I didn’t add chocolate chips to this recipe because I wanted it to be purely Snickers goodness — nougat, peanuts, caramel and chocolate.

    Tools you need to make cookies with snickers

    Snickers Cookies Recipe

    I like using my stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar but a handheld electric mixer works too.

    When baking cookies, I find a cookie scoop very useful so I always get evenly sized cookies. I also almost always line my cookie sheet with parchment paper (or a Silpat mat) for easy cleanup.

    How to bake Snickers cookies

    These Snickers cookies are so easy to make! 

    1 PREP. Preheat your oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

    2 COMBINE. In a medium bowl, stir your dry ingredients until combined: all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

    3 CREAM. In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream your butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes on medium speed). Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to beat until incorporated.

    4 ADD FLOUR. Add your flour mixture into your butter mixture and stir on low speed until combined and no more streaks of flour remain.

    5 STIR SNICKERS. Add your chopped Snickers chocolate and stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

    6 SCOOP. Drop or scoop your cookie dough (a heaping tablespoonful) into your prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes or until they start to brown on the edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

    To store, keep the Snicker cookies in an airtight container or a cookie jar on the counter. They should keep for about a week.

    These cookies are perfect with milk, as a snack, as a treat after a long day at work. They’re easy to whip up and so good! Enjoy!

    Chewy M&M cookies are the best kind of chocolate chip cookies — soft and chewy, so chocolatey and a breeze to make.

    Baking these chewy ginger molasses cookies will make your home smell like Christmas. So bake a batch and get into the holiday spirit.

    Meringue cornflake cookies are delightfully chewy, filled with crunchy cornflakes and bursting with bits of chocolate chips. It’s the kind of cookie you’d love to eat on a cold winter day, sitting by the fire, sipping hot chocolate or warm milk.

    White chocolate pistachio cookies — delightfully sweet and salty in one delicious bite.

    Notes

    1. The yield/number of cookies depends on how big or small you scoop your cookie dough. I use a medium cookie scoop and make 15 cookies.
    2. You can use regular sized Snickers chocolate bars. The minis look like they’re about half the size of the regular bar so you’ll need 5-6 of those.
    3. See post for complete step-by-step photos.

      I’m not sure what I did wrong here. I followed the recipe excat but I did use a baking spread instead of real butter so maybe that’s why, but my cookies spread loads and we’re very very thin. I mean they still taste good but they don’t look great! 🙁

        Hi Marla, unfortunately baking spread is not a great substitute for butter in baking.

      If you wanted to freeze these, would you freeze the dough or make the cookies and freeze those? Thanks!

      How many regular size snickers bars would be needed? Can’t get the minis here.

        The minis look like they’re about half the size of the regular bar so you’ll need 5-6 of those.

      This is such a delicious way to use up some candy! My boys get so much candy every year and it’s great to have something else than to just eat the candy up.
