I opened my baking candy supply drawer and it was overflowing with M&Ms and Snickers. Big Daddy got 4 feet of Snickers candy bars for Christmas then went on a diet in January. What better way to use them than in these Peanut Butter M&M Snickers Cookies?

Peanut Butter M&M Snickers Cookies Tips

1. I recommend using real butter. Salted or unsalted will work just fine. I don’t recommend making them with margarine of a butter substitute.
2. I use a cookie scoop to form the balls of dough. This ensures they are all the same size and will cook in the same amount of time.
3. I also bake cookies on a Silpat Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat. You can use this mat when a recipe calls for parchment paper. Cookies ‘grab’ to it and don’t spread as much which the main reason I like it. I also think cookies bake more evenly on a Silpat mat. Of course, if you don’t have one, don’t fret. They will turn out wonderfully without it.
4. I used peanut butter candies, but you can use chocolate M&Ms or chocolate chips if you prefer.
5. When using chocolate chips, I always use a good quality, name-brand variety. They contain cocoa butter, not fat substitutes.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup real butter no substitutions, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 and ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted (plus flour listed below)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour sifted
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 5 Snickers bars chopped into chunks
• 1 cup M&Ms candies

Instructions

• Cream melted butter and both sugars together until well combined.

• Fold in chopped Snickers candy bars and M&Ms by hand.
• Refrigerate dough for 1 hour or place in freezer for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Scoop dough into balls with a spring release scoop. I used a 1.5-inch scoop.
• Place on a ungreased cookie sheet and bake 14 to 15 minutes or until desired degree of doneness is reached. I like soft centers and crisp edges and mine were perfect at 14 minutes.
• Remove cookies from the oven and allow cookies to rest undisturbed on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes move to a wire rack to cool.
• Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
