Instructions

Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream Butters & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in Mix-Ins: Stir in chopped Snickers, toasted pecans, and caramel bits.

Chill (Optional): Chill the dough for 20 minutes for thicker cookies.

Scoop Dough: Use ~1.5 tbsp per cookie and place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing apart.

Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.

Finish: Immediately sprinkle each cookie with a little flaky sea salt. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For richer flavor: Toast the pecans in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes.

Bakery look: Press a few extra Snickers chunks on top before baking.

Don’t skip the salt: A pinch of flaky sea salt perfectly balances the sweetness.
