Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies
I bought a bag of peanut M&M’s. It was my intention to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies with them. Great plan until I ate all of the M&M’s. Time to punt and, fortunately, Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies turned out to be a really great substitute.
I used 17 mini Snickers bars for this recipe but you can use any size bar since the total weight needed is 162 grams.
Semisweet chocolate chips were my go-to chips because I wanted to bring a deeper chocolate flavor into the cookies that already had milk chocolate from the candy bars. However, as is always the case here on Desserts Required, use the chocolate chip you love.
I thought for sure my favorite way that I was going to love eating Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies was when they were piping hot out of the oven. I wasn’t wrong but I wasn’t exactly right, either. I, quickly, discovered that these cookies are also outrageous at room temperature as well as frozen.
I guess the biggest challenge of Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies is making sure you don’t eat all of the candy before it’s time to bake!
