Snickers Bar Cookies are the best cookies with Snicker’s candy bars baked into them!
Using candy bars in baking is nothing new, though I find that the recipes that include a candy bar within the ingredients tend to be pretty popular in the internet world. A candy bar is a treat in itself, so it’s no surprise that it sparks intrigue and interest when it is tucked inside of something just as decadent. Snickers is a favorite candy bar of many, so I thought it would be a popular choice for these cookies!
Here’s the how-to: Whip up my favorite chunky peanut butter cookie dough, and then roll the dough into little balls. **Please note: I am not a professional hand model. I wish I were. And if you have any skill in reading palms, let me know- I’d be up for hearing what’s in my future.
Pat those cookie balls into little pancakes.
A mini snickers bar is placed on top of each peanut butter cookie pancake.
Wrap those peanut butter cookie pancakes around the snickers. Hide the candy bar completely with the peanut butter cookie dough.
On a cookie sheet, you’re going to lightly flatten the cookie dough wrapped snickers with a sugared fork. Why sugared? Try it without sugar and you’ll realize why 🙂
Criss cross. Just because that’s what you’re supposed to do with peanut butter cookies.
Add a few pieces of chopped snickers on top (you want as much candy bar stuff in this cookie as you can possibly get). I think you’ll agree that it’s best that way.
And here is the baked cookie!
If you eat it warm, you’ll come across ooey-gooey Snickers Bar-stuff inside.
Or plate them, and serve them up later.

Snickers Bar Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup chunky peanut butter
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- One 11.5-ounce package Snickers Miniatures (or similar amount cut into chunks)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine butter, peanut butter and sugars using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Mix flour into peanut butter mixture; mix until just combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line cookie sheet or two with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- Unwrap the Snickers. Shape dough into 1 inch balls (about 1 rounded tablespoon). Flatten ball in your hand and place a mini Snickers Bar on top. Wrap dough around the candy and place on cookie sheet. Use a sugared fork to criss-cross the top of the cookie and press down slightly. Cut up some extra, smaller chunks of Snickers Bar and place 2 or 3 on top of each cookie. Spread out the cookies so that there are only 6 or 8 per cookie sheet (they'll spread out a bit).
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are set.

I love all the snickers cookies today!
Love stuffed cookies! These were fabulous, thanks for sharing that day 🙂
I’ve made these forever, only I use chocaye chip cookie dough. Sometimes I use milkyway candy bars too.
Between you and Maria, I’m set for awesome cookie recipes for my family!
Too funny! We are on the same page! Gotta love cookies and Snickers together:)
How could candy bars in cookies be anything but fantastic! I honestly haven’t had a candy bar in years, but Snickers was always a favorite of mine. These cookies look delicious.
Peanut butter cookies are terrific on their own but you just stuffed them with snickers and that is even better! Did you know that they now sell peanut butter snickers? I’m afraid to try them lol
Oh and PS my hands…not model caliber either. And my nails often look unmanicured and have food on them. Lol.
Oh I bet these are divine. Funny that you posted these. I was sitting her thinking about how I need to get going and post the sliders (2 varieties and so good), I made last night And thinking about making cookies this week and the endless possibilities and then I see these. I could have cookies right? I mean my jambalya (posted) is WW friendly even with sausage and shrimp and turkey sliders aren’t too bad…I’ve been good this week so far… Oh I have such a sweet tooth. It’s 7:00 am and I’d kill for one of these cookies!!!
Perfection! I don’t know that I’ve ever thought to use Snickers in cookies. I feel like I need to make these.
Also not a hand model. Until I get a much needed manicure my posts are staying hands free!
