Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Ensure the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to create a uniform dry ingredient mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Snickers bars using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture. This helps create a light and fluffy cookie dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to get creative! You can add nuts, different types of chocolate, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
- Store Properly: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to 5 days, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
