Snickers Cookies Recipe

So you've been seeing a guy you like for a while... you want to take it to the next level and become official BF & GF but you're wondering how to do this?! The answer is SNICKERS COOKIES!!!

Everyone knows the way to any guys heart is through their stomach and with these chocolatey, chewy delights you will be firing the cupids arrow directly into it!

I came up with this recipe about a year ago... I asked the boyf what he wanted me to bake and he simply said 'Snickers Cookies pleeasssse'. I looked at a few recipes online but in the end I mixed up my favourite Hummingbird Cookie recipe and they turned out amazing. The recipe makes approx 24 and I promise you they won't last long then 48 hours, they're far too yummy!

 

INGREDIENTS

8 Snickers Bars

225g unsalted butter at room temperature

350g light brown sugar

400g plain flour

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

4 baking trays lined with greaseproof paper

 

METHOD

1. Cut the 8 Snickers into cubes - place in a freezer bag and pop in the freezer for 60 minutes. This makes the Snickers extra cold so when you when their cooked they remain quite chunky rather then melting

2. Cream together the brown sugar & butter - make sure the butter is at room temperature otherwise it's really hard work. I popped mine in the KitchenAid on speed 2 for about 3 minutes

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping any unmixed ingredients from the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Turn the mixer down to slow speed and beat in the vanilla extract.

4. Add the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda and mix well until a smooth dough is formed. Stir in the chopped Snickers.

5. Arrange 6 equal amounts of cookie dough on each baking tray. Make sure there is enough space for them to spread out while baking as they will expand quite a lot!

6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 - 12 minutes, they should look golden! I like to take mine out when they're still quite pale that way when cooled they are soft and chewy, if you leave them longer they will be quite crumbly.

7. Leave the cookies to cool slightly on the trays before turning out onto a wire cooking rack to cool completely.

Cutting up the snickers... 

 

 Cut length ways aswell! 

 Whoops a bit of Snickers fell in my mouth! 

Pop the bag in the freezer for 60 minutes... 

Place butter and brown sugar in the mixer 

While blending add all the ingredients (except Snickers)

 Mmmm... cookie dough. Avoid finger dipping! 

Pour in the Snickers and mix by hand (this does take a bit of muscle) 

Arrange cookies on tray and bake... my mix made 22 cookies

Sit down and enjoy!
