Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes) using a hand or stand mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Chill the dough if it's too sticky.
- Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough, place a mini Snickers in the center, seal the dough around it, and roll into a smooth ball.
- Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake for 10–13 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft but do not overbake.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For a healthier swap, replace half the butter with mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce. To reduce added sugars, use natural peanut butter.
