Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles with Chocolate-Caramel Surprise

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles with Chocolate-Caramel Surprise.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). While it warms up, line your baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. This will help your cookies bake evenly and prevent sticking. Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and peanut butter with the white and brown sugars. Beat them together until the mixture is creamy and well-blended, creating a luscious base for your cookies. Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, stirring until you have a smooth and thick dough. Now comes the fun part! Take about 1/4 cup of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a fun size candy bar in the center and wrap the dough around it, forming a ball. Make sure the candy is completely covered. Place these dough balls on your prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 6 inches between each one to allow for spreading. Using a fork, gently flatten each ball in a cross-hatch pattern, but be careful to keep the candy bar hidden inside. For a sweet finishing touch, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of white sugar on top of each cookie. Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Once baked, let them cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or share them with friends and family for a sweet treat that’s sure to impress!
