These peanut butter cookies are so yummy and even more fun when eaten from a stick with a snickers bar surprise in the middle. This is another recipe from my mom that I haven't made in years, but remember being very tasty! You could probably use just about any cookie recipe or miniature candy bar, but I haven't tried. It's fun to use colored candy or sugar to match the occasion (red/green for Christmas, pink for a girls birthday, etc.). Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
40 wooden popsicle sticks |
40 snickers miniature candy bars (1 inch square) |
1 small decorative candies (optional) or 1 small colored crystal sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Beat peanut butter, butter, and shortening in large mixing bowl on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
2. Add sugars and baking soda and beat till combined.
3. Beat in eggs and vanilla till combined.
4. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer on medium speed, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon.
5. Insert a wooden stick into the side of each candy bar piece.
6. Form about 2 tablespoons dough into a ball shape around each candy bar piece, making sure the candy bar is completely covered.
7. If desired, roll the ball in decorative candies or colored sugar, gently pushing candies into the dough.
8. Place cookies 2 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
9. Bake in 325 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and set.
10. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on rack.
