Mini Snickers Stuffed Snickerdoodle Bites

I guess you could say that I like stuffing candy and other treats into my cookies. I just love when there is a hidden surprise inside of a cookie. First, I made these Caramel Apple Milkyway Chocolate Chip Cookies that were a big hit at a birthday in the fall. I followed those up with Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies, as well as Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt, both which were instant favorites. I really don't see an end to the stuffed cookies anytime soon.

The best part about this recipe is that it does not require any baking. Start to finish you can make these cookie dough bites in just 20 minutes. Simple and delicious- those are definitely my favorite recipes. Even if you don't have snickers bars on hand, you can make plain snickerdoodle bites. Everyone loves  snickerdoodles. Also just a note- I preferred eating them slightly chilled out of the refrigerator, but that it is just my personal preference. 

Mini Snickers Stuffed Snickerdoodle Bites

Recipe adapted from Cooking Classy

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
28 mini snickers bars
3 tbsp granulated sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.

In a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugars and cream of tartar until light and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the heavy cream and the vanilla extract. Mix until combined. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar and cinnamon.

Scoop out one tablespoon of cookie dough at a time. Roll the cookie dough into a ball with your hands and then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Chill or serve immediately. The remaining snickerdoodle bites should be stored in the refrigerator.

Yield: 28 snickerdoodle bites
