Snickerdoodle with Snickers Recipe From Disney

I loved trying the delightful sweets and treats at this year's EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. The Cookie Stroll cookies are enormous this year as well as tasty. The first cookie I tried was the Snickerdoodle with Snickers pieces from the Yukon Holiday Kitchen. It was surprisingly good. If you'd like to make this cookie at home, give this recipe from Disney a try.

Snickerdoodle cookies made with Snickers Bar Pieces - EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays 

Makes 24 Cookies

2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cream of tartar

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup shortening

1 1/2 cup, plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided

2 eggs

2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 cups roughly chopped Snickers bar pieces

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Sift flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cream shortening and 1 1/2 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Reduce speed to medium and add eggs, one at a time, until combined. 

Add flour mixture, one cup at a time, scraping bowl as needed.  Beat on medium speed until just combined. 

Roll dough into balls using a 1-1/2 inch cookie scoop and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Remove 12 chilled dough balls from refrigerator. Roll in cinnamon sugar and place on prepared baking pan. 

Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped Snickers bar pieces on top of each cookie. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until edges begin to brown. 

Cool on pan for 2 minutes before moving to wire racks. Drizzle with desired amount of melted dark chocolate. Repeat with remaining dough.
