Many a time I have voiced my opinion on the lack of fun in the
so-called "fun sized" candy bar. How much fun can you have with a
tiny candy bar? Go big or go home is my motto. The same thing goes for cookies.
So, when I saw this recipe for Half-Pound Chocolate Chip Cookies how could I
possibly resist?
It wasn't long after I read the recipe that I decided to make them. Unfortunately, I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand, lacking the chocolate to be grated and stirred into the dough. I did, however, have some frozen Snickers available, so instead of using the called for chocolate, I grated a couple of frozen Snickers. Oh my! What a fabulous difference that made. So, my recipe is an adaptation of the Half Pound Chocolate Chip Cookie from the Cookies & Cups blog with a little something extra (Viva la Difference!), that I've renamed Half-Pound Chocolate Chip Snickers Cookies. Yes, go big or go home, indeed. You're going to love these. Be sure to share them with one or two friends, these are indeed half-pound cookies, and that's a lot of goodness.

Half-Pound Chocolate Chip Snickers Cookies
Slightly adapted from Cookies and Cups
Slightly adapted from Cookies and Cups
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cold eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cold eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
2 frozen Snicker bars, grated (See Note)
Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together at medium speed for two minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined.
Turn the mixer to low, and slowly add the flour, mixing until just combined. Add chocolate chips and grated Snicker bars, and mix until evenly incorporated.
Using a food scale measure out the dough into six equal portions of 8 ounces each. Form the dough into balls and place 4 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the bottoms are lightly browned and edges golden. Allow cookies to cool on a baking sheet for four minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTE: I used a good quality box grater (see below) in order to
grate the Snicker bars. Make sure to use frozen bars, although it seemed to me
that grating them got a little easier as they thawed a tiny bit, but you
certainly don't want to try this with a Snicker that hasn't been frozen.
