Soft and Chewy Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies Cooking Guide

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk or an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Gently fold in the diced Snickers and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula. This is where the magic happens—make sure every cookie has a bit of that Snickers goodness!
  • Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy texture!

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and improve texture.
  • Substitute half the butter with unsweetened applesauce for a lighter version.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
