Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will help to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped Snickers bars using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked. The cookies may look a little underbaked, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Double Chocolate Snickers Chunk Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to guarantee smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- For extra indulgence, reserve a few Snickers chunks to press on top of each cookie before baking for a stunning presentation.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture for up to 5 days.
- For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips to enhance the overall flavor profile.
