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.

These look amazing. Quick question do you need to chill the dough and can you freeze them?
Christi Johnstone says
No need to chill the dough, just bake as directed. And yes, you can freeze them.
Kim says
Do you use salted or unsalted butter
Christi Johnstone says
Either, I’ve never noticed a huge difference in flavor, so I recommend using whichever you prefer or tend to keep on hand.
Yolanda says
These look great, could I use pecans instead of peanuts.
Christi Johnstone says
For the most part on any cookie recipe you can change the mix ins – peanut for pecans, pecans for walnuts, semi-sweet chips for milk, white chocolate for butterscotch, and so on. The mix ins don’t change the fundamental recipe base, so feel free to get creative!
Julie says
These cookies taste great, but they are falling apart when I try to take them off the cookie sheet. 😔 any ideas why they would do that?
Christi Johnstone says
Julie, my guess is they need to cool longer. If you try and take them off the sheet while they are still fairly warm, they will fall apart. Make sure to let them cool. 🙂
Roseann says
