Recipe Swap: Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies

Our recipe swap this time focused on desserts. I was assigned these peanut butter snickers cookies from Mrs. Reguieiro's Plate and I must say that I was pretty excited to make them. My mom used to make snickers cookies where 1 whole mini snicker was inside each cookie and they were fantastic. These were slightly different, but still similar in taste. As expected these cookies tasted great and made a nice after-dinner treat. The only problem I had was that they were pretty fragile to transfer to the wire rack, but it wasn't too big of a deal. I just got to eat some crumbs right away!
