== Description ==
Contributed by Catsrecipes Y-Group
== Ingredients ==
* ½ cup sugar
* ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
* ½ cup margarine or butter, softened
* ½ cup almond butter (I use the type that is just almond, nothing else)
* 1 egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1½ cups flour
* ½ teaspoon baking powder
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* ¼ teaspoon salt
* 1 (2.07) ounce Snickers® candy bar, cut into 12 pieces
=== Chocolate glaze ===
* ½ cup powdered sugar
* 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
* 1 tablespoon milk
== Directions ==
# Heat oven to 375°F.
# In a large bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, margarine, almond butter, egg, and vanilla; beat well.
# Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
# Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to sugar mixture; mix well.
# Shape a portion of dough smoothly around each piece of candy bar, making sure bar is completely covered.
# You want to use just enough dough to entirely cover the candy piece, not a huge amount.
# Place 4-inches apart on heavy cookie sheets that have been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
# Add a handful of old-fashioned oats to remaining batter and drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto heavy cookie sheets that have been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
# Bake both kinds of cookies for about 12 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned and appear done.
# Cool 10 minutes.
# Remove from cookie sheets.
# Cool completely.
# Drizzle with the following chocolate glaze.
# After glaze hardens, store cookies in an airtight container.
=== Chocolate glaze ===
# Mix powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa and milk.
# Add additional milk as needed to thin mixture enough to drizzle from spoon.
== Note ==
I placed a piece of wax paper under the rack the cookies cooled on. Using a spoon drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies. To achieve a delicate web of glaze on each cookie, I let the initial drizzle for each cookie drop beside the cookie and through the rack, moving the spoon over the cookie mid-stream. This resulted in less blobs of glaze on the cookies.
