Category: Cookies

3 c . all-purpose flour
1 tsp . baking soda
3/4 tsp . salt
1/2 c . butter at cool room temperature
1/2 c . plain vegetable shortening
1 c . brown sugar packed
1/2 c . granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 T . vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup chopped peanuts
10 oz package SNICKERS baking bites or chopped SNICKER bar

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together butter and shortening until well-combined. Add sugars, and beat for about 4-5 minutes on high, or until very well-combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla; beat in for 3 minutes.

Stir in flour until just combined. Add chocolate chips and peanuts, and stir in. Cover, and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375 F, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Drop dough by medium scoops (1.5 tablespoons) onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until very lightly browned at the edges. Remove from oven, and gently press SNICKERS pieces into cookies. Let cool on baking sheet.
