Don't remember where I got this one...from some ladies magazine or another. Just something I make at the holidays...be sure to pop one in the microwave for a few seconds before you eat it to melt the candy inside if you aren't eating these right out of the oven!
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon milk
24 snickers miniature candy bars
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter and peanut butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Using a wooden spoon, beat in honey and milk until well-combined.
2. For each cookie, pat 1 tablespoon of dough into a 2 inch circle. Place 1 piece of candy in the center of circle and shape dough around candy to form a ball. Be sure there are no holes where the chocolate can leak out as the cookie bakes! Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are light brown. Transfer to wire racks to cook.
