Snickers Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

60 miniature (bite-size) Snickers candy bars
chocolate glaze (recipe below)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add to peanut butter mixture. Take 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten into round shape in palm of your hand. Place Snickers bar in center and fold dough around it. Pat in palms of your hand to form a smooth ball with the Snickers bar totally covered with the dough. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes (I bake for 8 min with convection). Remove from cookie sheet and place on a wire rack to cool. Drizzle top of cookies with chocolate glaze.

Oh my goodness I am going to have to bookmark this one for those recipes! LOL! The photos are fantastic, and I can tell we probably have the title of "local cookie queen" in common! hehe... I used to be a baker at a university and let me tell you, making cookies is not so fun when you scopp 25 dozen of them a day! Although you can't beat those industrial mixers!
