I like cookies. All different kinds. Sometimes I crave a wholesome, oaty cookie full of things I can feel good about like honey, flax, dried fruits, and oats.
That day is not today. Today I want a huge, chewy monster… full of peanut chunks, nougat, peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel.
I know that there are people out there who like crispy, flat cookies. But I am not one of them. I need soft, chewy cookies – the kind that literally almost melt in your mouth. These cookies are just that.
A good and important thing to note: use FROZEN Peanut Butter Snickers pieces for the batter. Yes, frozen. Make sure those snickers pieces are rock solid or else they will melt uncontrollably and lend a flat cookie.
Look at all that sweet peanut buttery snickers nougat goo! The goo is the best part.

Makes 24-30 cookies. Cookies stay fresh and soft at room temperature (covered) for up to 1 week.
Ingredients
- 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) salted butter, softened to room temp
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chopped Peanut Butter Snickers bars, frozen
Instructions
- Roughly chop peanut butter snickers into pieces. Place in a small bowl and stick in the freezer while you prepare the dough.
- Preheat oven to 325F degrees. With an electric or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well. Gradually add the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Fold in frozen peanut butter snickers pieces.
- Chill dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Scoop 1.5 tablespoons of dough and drop onto ungreased baking sheet or silpat. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. The centers should appear soft and puffy.
Notes
*It is imperative to keep dough chilled at all times. Keep dough in the refrigerator between batches.
*It is also imperative to use FROZEN Snickers pieces. If they are not frozen, the chocolate bars will melt and spread within the dough, resulting in a flat, thin cookie.

Today’s cookie recipe reminds me of my Snickers Bar-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. A gooey Snickers hiding inside. These are so good!
If you like Snickers, you’ll love my Snickers Cheesecake Bars.

Ashton recently posted..Classic Chocolate Chips Cookies {Best Cookie Base} & a HOP!
Thanks for stopping by Ashton! Peanut Butter Snickers are my favorite.
I’m afraid if I make these, I won’t be able to stop eating them. Or perhaps the peanut butter snickers won’t actually make it into the cookies before I devour them!
Riley, I don’t know how I managed to save any snickers to throw into these cookies! My boyfriend and I kept eating them all!
Made these cookies for a family reunion and everyone loved them. So delicious!
These cookies are hard not to love!! so glad that you enjoyed them Tori. Thanks for coming back and letting me know, Makes my day!

Hi! The cookies look gorgeous!!!!! Quick question! How much salt should I put in if I am using unsalted butter? I only have unsalted butter in my fridge… Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Heajin! I would use 1/4 tsp of salt and add it in with the dry ingredients.
I love the website it has some great recipes
