Total Time
40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar + 1/4 cup sugar for rolling
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour (fluffed & spooned)
- 14 peanut butter Snickers bars (snack size)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat the shortening and peanut butter until creamy. Add both sugars, baking powder, and baking soda and mix until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla. Slowly add the flour until all is incorporated. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes.
- Shape the dough into 28 small balls. Flatten with the palm of your hand.
- Take two flattened balls and form them around the unwrapped Snickers square. Completely cover all the chocolate so it doesn’t melt out when baking.
- Roll the large dough ball in granulated sugar and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. Let cool on a baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
Notes
I only baked 6 at a time on my baking sheet because they are so big. They are such a big cookie that I cut them in half for my kids.
