Snickers Cookies

These cookies were REALLY yummy...I served them at my Christmas piano recital and got a lot of comments about them! The only thing I would change would be to just melt some milk chocolate chips or a Hershey's bar or something and drizzle that. I wasn't too fond of the chocolate glaze. But you definitely need to try these!!

Snickers Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
60 miniature (bite size) Snickers candy bars (these are the smallest size ones – NOT the fun size)
chocolate glaze (see recipe below)

Preheat oven to 350 . Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add to peanut butter mixture. Take 1 Tbsp. of dough and flatten into round shape in palm of hand. Place Snickers bar in center and fold dough around it. Roll in palms of your hand to form a smooth ball with the Snickers bar totally covered with the dough. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and place on a wire rack to cool. Drizzle top of cookies with chocolate glaze.

Chocolate Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1 Tbsp. milk

Mix powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa and milk. Add additional as needed to thin mixture enough to drizzle from spoon.

These cookies are the bomb. The chocolate drizzle makes them pretty to look at, but we didn't find it necessary. These are a new favorite. Yum o :)
