Chocolate chip cookies. A classic dessert in its simpliest form.
They’re a household favorite, an iconic snack time staple, a timeless milk advocate.
Incredible when they are served warm, cold, in dough form, in baked form, in ice cream, on ice cream, small, and large – no one can resist the comfort of a chocolate chip cookie.
They’re unbeatable.
Until today. You see, I like to shake things up a bit in the kitchen. While you may think nothing could possibly be better than a classic chocolate chip cookie, try stuffing them. With snickers.
Looks certainly are deceiving. 
I got the idea from Averie over at Averie Cooks to stuff chopped snickers bar pieces inside of a chocolate chip cookie. Brilliant! Averie has an incredible repertoire of delicious cookie recipes.
It’s so simple. Whip up your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough, cradle a snickers piece inside a piece of dough and cover with more dough to create a “lid.”
I used my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe, but feel free to use your own.
I love the idea of that smooth Snickers caramel, fluffy nougat, and crunchy peanuts hiding inside a cookie. The best part is all the action happening on the other side of the cookie.
Look at all that goo!
If you’re looking for an easy way to shake up your chocolate chip cookies, stuffing them with candy bars is a surefire way to make something good… even better. 
Snickers Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies
makes 24-30 stuffed cookies
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) salted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 fun-sized Snickers bars, cut into 4 pieces each.
Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. With an electric mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms (may take a couple minutes of stirring). Fold in chocolate chips. Do not overmix the dough at any point in this process.
Chill dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Take 1 tablespoon of dough, press a snickers piece inside the dough. Cover with more dough, enough to ensure the snickers piece is completely enveloped inside.
Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. The centers should appear very soft and puffy. Let cool completely and enjoy!
*Make sure to keep dough cold at all times while the batches are baking. I kept my dough in the refrigerator in between batches.

I loved watching people’s faces as they took the first bite only to find a snickers hiding inside. The best kind of surprise, no?

snickers and choc chip cookies are a match made in heaven, that’s for sure!
They turned out fabulously! Per our email, LMK how the other cookies work for you, too!
Thanks for blogging about these!

Oh my gosh now these are my kinda cookie!! They look SO yummy!

I’ve never run into stuffed cookies, really, they look so good!
Are you planning to show us other lovely cookies this week? Ok, I’ll be here : )
yes ma’am! i have 3 more cookie recipes to share this week, 2 of which are variations of chocolate chip cookies
Sally, I can’t get over how delicious these look, and I also can’t get over the self control you must have had not to eat the Snickers bars whole! That is one thing I couldn’t do, I’m afraid. Great recipe though!
thanks Georgia! god knows where my self control came in. i had the snickers bars for about a week before making the cookies!
You are going to kill me this week! It is the start of my, get back on track with eating better week! Well longer than a week, but I just started, and all these temptations!
don’t worry Erin! i do have some healthy recipes to post in the next week or two as well
Oh WOW! These are so dangerous!

I love stuffed cookies. They are very deceiving but once you take that bite into the cookie, it is absolute heaven.
Wow!!! I love stuffed cookies.. I´m gonna give this a try! it s so yummy!
thank you! i’m working on a milky way stuffed cookie next
*Sigh* Now I want to make cookies! These look amazing!
thank you Dorothy!
Mine spread out really thin and burned
but the ones that were edible were magical lol.
Grrr… that’s frustrating, Michelle! I’m sorry they didn’t turn out too well. Perhaps take them out of the oven a bit earlier. Even though they may not appear “done”, they certainly firm up as they cool.
They look so good. I have caramal Bites I can use with these. Do you think that will work.
Caramel bites would be a great substitute, yes!
I’m sorry but I am missing something here…it says chocolate chip, but I don’t see any chocolate chips anywhere in the recipie. Am I just not seeing it or should I be “assuming” somthing??? Sorry if I am missing it.
Hi Denise! Thanks for pointing that out. When I switched servers in April, a lot of my recipe formatting got messed up and some even got deleted! I updated the recipe for you now. THANK YOU for letting me know, much much much appreciated!
BTW the new pics are incredible! Just noticed them from the relink in the peppermint cookies. That 3rd pic down, I want to dive in! Also saw these blow up on FG

Thank you for noticing Averie! These were a quick photoshoot but I had this CI cookie dough made AND a few snickers bars, so I just went for it!
Hi,
I used a few of your recipes to make sweets for Valentine’s day to send to my boyfriend, and these came out excellent! I still have a few left and they stay soft even after a week. Everyone I’ve shared them with loves them! The addition of the snickers is a wonderful idea, but I think when I make them again I’ll go a little lighter on the sugar in the recipe. Other than that, they’re fantastic.
Hi Deana! That’s wonderful to hear, thank you for letting me know. These will always be a favorite cookie of mine. Let me know how they turn out with a lower amount of sugar. Thanks so much!
