Recipe(tried): Santa's Snickers Surprises

Hi Lynn,

I made these cookies last Christmas. I clipped the recipe out of the coupons in the Sunday paper. They really were good, and I suspect this is probably the recipe your friend has. Hope it helps!

Santa's Snickers Surprises

2 sticks butter, softened
1 Cup creamy peanut butter
1 Cup light brown sugar
1 Cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 Cups all purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package SNICKERS Brand Miniatures

Combine the butter, peanut butter, and sugars using a mixer on a medium to low setting until light and fluffy.

Slowly add eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Then mix in flour, salt and baking soda. Cover and chill dough for 2-3 hours.

Unwrap all the SNICKERS Brand Miniatures.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide into 1 T pieces and flatten. Place a SNICKERS Brand Miniature in the center of each piece of dough.

Form the dough into a ball around each SNICKERS.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 300 F for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking rack or wax paper.

*Hint* Spruce them up with powdered sugar and drizzle melted chocolate over top of each cookie.
Makes about 2 dozen
