These are the cookies my boys made for Santa this year. I always liked this recipe during high school, but haven't had these cookies since then. Luckily Ricky's Aunt Rosalie had the recipe in the family cook book. I used a much larger dough to snickers ratio than you would normally use so that my little boys could easily cover the candy.1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter (we used crunchy)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package mini Snickers (we just saved our's from Halloween)
chocolate for melting
Combine butter, peanut butter and sugars on medium to low speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and vanilla until mixed. Mix in flour, baking soda and salt. Unwrap snickers. Make balls of dough; push your finger in the middle to make a place for the Snickers. Then rolls the dough around the candy. Place on greased cookie sheet and cook 10-12 minutes at 325. Drizzle with melted chocolate on the top.
I'm sure Santa will be happy to stop and have a treat at our house :)
