How to Make Snickers Surprise

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Unwrap a package of Snickers miniatures.
  8. Once the dough is chilled, roll it into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball slightly.
  9. Place one Snickers miniature in the center of each flattened dough ball.
  10. Wrap the dough around the Snickers, sealing it completely.
  11. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
