SNICKERS SUPRISE

Category: Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 jar creamy peanut butter (18 ounces)
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 bag mini Snickers brand candies

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, yolk, and vanilla; mix until fluffy. Stir in peanut butter.

Separately, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Finally, stir in the peanuts. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.

Form dough into approximately 1 1/2 inch balls. Flatten each ball and wrap around each mini candy. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown on the edges.

Let set for a minute or two and then move cookies to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before diving in!
