Candy Bar Cookies

I was in search of a recipe for snickers cookies, a twist on a favorite for a camp care package. Found a few recipes that intrigued me, one with a chocolate chip cookie base, one with a peanut butter base. I decided to stick with what I know and what I had on hand and ended up with candy bar cookies.
I used leftover candy stashed in the pantry and combined it with my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe from The Blue Moon Cookbook.




Peanut Butter Cookies
1 stick butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 cup flour

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in peanut butter. Stir in egg and vanilla. Mix well. Combine salt, soda, and flour. Stir in slowly.
I then added the 2 1/2 cups of chopped candy (Mr. Goodbar, Kisses, Rolos, and Reeses) in addition to 1/2 cup chopped peanuts.
Use a small cookie scoop and bake on parchment lined cookie sheets about 10 minutes at 350.
