Snickers Bar Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. softened butter
1 c. peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (16 oz.) pkg. miniature SNICKERS® bars unwrapped or other chocolate (Milky Way, 3 Musketeer)

DIRECTIONS:

Cream together sugar, brown sugar, butter and peanut butter.
Add vanilla and beaten eggs. Mix.
Add baking powder, baking soda and flour; mix well.
Cut miniature SNICKERS® bars in half. Wrap dough around each bar half, forming a ball.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cookies will flatten as they bake, with candy bar as center filling.
 
Bake at 350°F for 12-18 minutes or until light golden brown and puffy.
 
Remove from cookie sheets and place on cutting board or flat surface so the cookies don’t continue to cook on the pan.
 
Makes 2-1/2 dozen cookies.
Top with powdered sugar for decoration.
