    Cookie Pops

    Finished Photo of Cookie PopsWhat could me more fun than a cookie pop - a peanut butter cookie on a stick?  How about a peanut butter cookie with a snicker’s bar inside on a stick?  When I first opened my retail shop, there was a construction crew in the area and we absolutely couldn’t make these fast enough.  As soon as the bakery sent over a case, we had to order another.  From a children’s party, to a shower, to tailgating, these fun treats fit in anywhere with children and adults alike.

    The rounded sticks for the snickers can be found at craft or hobby stores.  Popsickle sticks work also, but it is harder to seal the dough around the stick.  These cookies couldn’t be easier.  Fun size snickers, peanut butter cookie dough, a few sticks and your have it.

    To measure the flour, stir the flour in the container, then spoon it lightly into a dry measure until it is overflowing if not weighing.  Sweep off the excess with a spatula or the backside of a knife.  Do not tap the measure down to level it as this will give you more flour than the recipe calls for.  Brown sugar is nothing more than white sugar coated with molasses.  The more molasses, the darker the sugar.  Because of this, it is fluffier and has to be packed into the measuring cup to obtain the proper weight or measure.  It doesn't make any difference if  you use light, medium or dark.  We used medium.  Room temperature butter is about 72 degrees.  Don’t let the butter get mushy soft or runny.
    Cookie PopsIngredients (1 of 1)1 ½ cup all purpose flour (210 grams or 7 ⅓ ounces)
    ½ teaspoon baking powder
    ½ teaspoon baking soda
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    13 fun size snicker bars
    13 wooden sticks
    1 stick butter, softened to room temperature (114 grams or 4 grams)
    ½ cup sugar (100 grams or 3 ½ ounces)
    ½ cup brown sugar (100 grams or 3 ½ ounces)
    ½ cup creamy peanut butter (125 grams or  4 ⅓ ounces)
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.  Set aside.

    Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.  Set aside.

    Prepare the snickers bar by inserting the sticks into the center of the snickers about ½ way up.  If you leave half of the wrapper on they are easier to insert.
