Baked goods combined with candy is an idea so good your head will practically explode just thinking about it! That’s what my head nearly did when I first read about Santa’s Surprise Cookies–peanut butter cookies stuffed with, surprise! A mini Snickers.
Though I love classic peanut butter cookies, I have to say they can tend to be a little on the crumbly and dry side (you know, enough that you definitely want to have a glass of milk or mug of coffee nearby). What the mini Snickers surprise offers, however, is the chewiness factor that the basic peanut butter cookie so often lacks. It thus creates, dare I say it, a near-perfect peanut butter cookie! If you want, you can jazz the cookie up even more by adding some dark chocolate chips in the center. (I opted to do this in lieu of the chocolate drizzle the recipe calls for. That just seemed like extra work!)
Mmmmm! Those look delicious Mariko! :)

I’ve done those with mini brownies too. Use a mini muffin tin and par bake the brownies then put a mini snickers in each one. Talk about sinful!!
