‘Snickers Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies…*
Yes, I know, Lent season has officially started. Most of my friends have given up sweets, soda, and swearing. Call me crazy, but I could NEVER give up sugar. EVER. I tried to give up chocolate last year, but failed miserably. This year, I think my addiction for chocolate (and well, all things sweet) has gotten the best of me.
Now, when I’m standing in the checkout lane at the grocery store, the 99¢ candy bars start calling out to me. Someway, somehow, they end up printed on my receipt and smeared on my face before I even make it home. Shameful, I know.
These cookies are the result of one of those ‘shameful’ moments. As we already know, soft, buttery, homemade chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal on their own; but when you stuff them ‘n’ top them with thick slices of chewy, caramely, nutty Snickers bars, they are transformed into a rich, gooey, flavor-packed treat.

If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, try stuffing these cookies with Butterfingers, Fudge Brownies, or Peppermint Marshmallows.

(3) Place 10 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking and using the handle of pan to swirl the butter around in the skillet. Swirl butter constantly until it becomes a dark golden brown in color and gives off a nutty aroma, about 1 to 3 minutes.
(4) Remove skillet from heat and transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl. Stir remaining 6 tablespoons of butter into hot butter until completely melted.

(5) Add sugars, salt, and vanilla to brown butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Add eggs and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps remaining, about 30 seconds. Rest mixture for 3 minutes, and then, whisk mixture for 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth, and shiny.
(6) Using sturdy rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips giving dough final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.
(7) Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out dough and flatten it into a round disc. Next, place a Snickers slice on top. Fold edges over Snickers to seal it in. (*Optional and highly recommended: Press in chopped Snickers on top for added richness).
(8) Place cookies 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets.
(9) Bake cookies 1 sheet at a time until cookies are golden brown and still puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, about 10 to 14 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to wire rack to cool cookies...and enjoy before they disappear! :)
