Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 rac{1}{4} cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
rac{1}{2} teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
rac{1}{2} cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped Snickers bars, about 15 fun-size bars
rac{1}{2} cup caramel baking bits

Method

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well on medium speed after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the chopped Snickers bars and caramel baking bits until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake at 3750F (1900C) for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set but still soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

– Don’t overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients; overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix until just combined. – For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs. This helps them cream together smoothly, creating a light and fluffy base. – If your cookies are spreading too much, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. – For a soft, chewy texture, pull the cookies from the oven when the edges are set and lightly golden, but the centers still look slightly underbaked. They will continue to cook on the hot baking sheet.
