These Snickers Surprise Cookies look like regular chocolate chip cookies but they’re so much better! Hidden inside is a delicious mini Snickers bar!

Last week, I shared a recipe for Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Cookies that was inspired by the Oreo Surprise Chocolate Chip Cookies that Susan at Organized 31 created. Apparently, we’ve engaged in a game of cookie tag now because she came back with Girl Scout Thin Mint Surprise Cookies.

Since she’s sticking with surprise cookies, I’m going to keep going with surprise candy. This week’s creation has bite-sized Snickers hidden in the middle of the cookie.

How to Make Snickers Surprise Cookies

The dough for these Snickers Surprise Cookies turns out with just the right texture, instead of being doughy or crisp (which is how my cookies used to turn out). The secret ingredient is pudding mix!

Aside from a small adjustment to the chocolate chips, all I’ve done is to stick a Snickers bar in the middle. Actually, I experimented with a variety of candy bars (Milky Way, Three Musketeers, and Snickers) but the Snickers won hands-down with all of my taste testers.

Gently stir the chocolate chips into the dough. Then, use a cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough.

Carefully press a mini Snickers bar into the center of each dough ball.

Squeeze the dough around the Snickers bar so that it is completely covered by cookie dough.

  6. These look super fab. I love Snickers and chocolate chip cookies but had never thought to combine the two.
    Thanks for sharing with us at Share Your Stuff Tuesday this week.

  11. Just when I swear off all sugar, you and Susan begin a cookie war! Each one of the recipes would put me in a sugar coma! Of course, I would be happy in that coma!

  12. Hi Corinne – I’m with Ave… can I move in with you? Why bake when you can have someone else bake these cookies for you right?!?!? So I guess it’s #cookietag and Susan is it now! Hugs, Holly
