Steps To Make Snickers Cookies

1. Make The Cookie Dough

Preparing cookie dough is a simple process. In a bowl, combine butter, both the sugars, egg, and vanilla essence and beat on medium-high speed.

Allow the ingredients to turn light and fluffy. This process would take you about 5-7 minutes.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt (optional), and mix for a minute until just combined.

2. Add The Star Ingredients

Add the chopped Snickers and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the prepared dough and mix by hand. 

3. Scoop Out The Cookies

Take a cookie scoop and scoop out the dough on a large plate. Flatten the cookie mounds with your palms slightly and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the plate for at least 2 hours. 

Refrigerating the cookie well to keep its shape in place is crucial. If you bake freshly prepared cookie dough, the cookies will not maintain their shape and will bake thinner and flatter. 

4. Bake The Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat. Take the cookie mounds out of the refrigerator and place them on a baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 8 to 9 minutes or until the edges and the top appears set. Do not bake the cookies longer than 10 minutes as they firm up upon cooling.

Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer them to the cooling rack.

How To Place Snickers Pieces On Cookies

Snickers cookies are made with Snickers chunks mixed in the dough. However, while baking, if you notice exposed Snickers chunks at the cookie’s base, you can replace them by placing them at the top.

This trick will make your Snickers cookies look visually appealing. Moreover, this will also prevent the exposed caramel and nougat from sticking to the parchment paper. 

How To Store Snickers Cookies?

Your Snickers cookies are ready; you’ve also munched on a few. Are you wondering how to store them and enjoy them for a few more days? Here’s how you can store them.
