Snickers Bar Cookies

Denise, are these the cookies you mentioned? I haven't tried them yet, but I will soon!

1 c. softened margarine
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. soda
8-10 Snickers bars

Glaze:
1 c. powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa
1 Tbsp milk

Cut bars into 1/2 inch pieces. Pack dough around the piece to form a ball. Arrange on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Drizzle with glaze on cool cookies

Wow, it's really close! I dug through my recipes to find this one and thought it was the same recipe. There is salt im my recipe, a little more flour and no baking powder. Also they use miniature snickers instead of cut up ones and you have to chill mine. They both look like they would taste the same! They are yummy, especially if you like snickers. I recomend drizziling the chocolate over the baked cookies!

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
24 Snickers miniature candy bars

Preheat oven to 300 degree Fahrenheit.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix together butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla and combine thoroughly.
Then mix in flour mixture.
Cover and chill dough 2-3 hours.
To form cookie, scoop a tablespoon of chilled dough and flatten.
Place a miniature Snickers in the center and form the dough into a ball around the Snickers.
Place on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-20 minutes.
Cool cookies on a rack.
Optional: Decorate cookies with powdered sugar or drizzled melted chocolate or both.

Yeah! I love comparing recipes. But, Denise, what are you doing to me? Now I'll have to try both to decide which one I like better. Life is so hard!

That sounds good to me, you make both of them and tell me what one is the best! Too bad I dont live closer so that I could be the official judge. YUM!
I am having the girls over for lunch today and making the chicken Cafe Rio salad!! So excited.
