If you love peanut butter cookies, you are going to want to make these Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies! A deliciously perfect peanut butter cookie, loaded with Snickers, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and peanuts. These might be some of the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever had, and that’s not something I say often! You’re not you when you’re hungry, so have a peanut butter Snickers cookie!
While I love peanut butter cookies, they’ve never been a go-to cookie for me. They can be, to be honest, be a bit boring to me. I like stuff in my cookies. I like to chew. These cookies solve that problem. While I didn’t add caramel bits, that would be a fantastic addiction to these Snickers Cookies to really round out the Snickers flavors.
I used the Snickers Baking Bites in these, but you can also just chop up Snickers. It seems like we always have about 3.2 million Snickers minis leftover after Halloween or any other candy-filled event, so it’s nice to have a way to put them to great use. I find the Baking Bites to be a bit big, so I actually still chop them up a bit. But because I chop them up, you get a little caramel overload onto the baking pan sometimes. Not a bad thing, but this is certainly a recipe you are going to want to use a silicon baking mat or parchment paper with. Nobody likes scrubbing caramel off a baking sheet.

I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
Haven’t tried the recipe yet, but I know it’s going to be a hit with my coworkers. My question is how many cookies does one batch make? More than a dozen? I’ll probably double the recipe anyway.
