I don’t know about you but we STILL have leftover Halloween candy. In December. I really like to freeze snickers after Halloween for holiday baking- because then I have them on hand for delicious Snickers bar recipes like this one!
These Snickers Bar Pillow Cookies are like pillows of delight!!
Ingredients:
- 1 8 oz package of softened cream cheese
- 1/4 pound of butter
- 1 cup sifted all purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped Snickers miniatures candy bars
- 1/2 cup chopped semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
Makes approximately 3 dozen.
Mix softened cream cheese, butter, and flour with dough hook attachment on mixer. Chill dough for 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a well floured surface, roll the dough out to approximately 1/8″ thick.
Using a knife or a 2″ square cookie cutter, cut dough into 2″ squares. Transfer to cookie sheet.
Sprinkle a small amount of the chopped Snickers and chopped chocolate chips into the center of each square. With a small brush, moisten the edges of the square with water and place a second square of dough over top of the first to create the “pillow”. Pinch the seams together.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool and drizzle with melted chocolate or a thin confectioners’ sugar icing.
