… therefore, I shall eat

Give me freshly baked cookies and a cup of milk and I’m happy as a clam.

Normally, I’d want simple chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal raisin cookies (my favourites), but this time I thought I’d do different. So, how about peanut butter and snickers cookies? The famous sweet-and-salty taste of peanut butter cookie with the chocolate-caramel goodness of a Snickers bar — honestly, just the thought of it makes me drool.

If you already have a good recipe for peanut butter cookies, you merely have to add chopped Snickers and do a few adjustments to taste.
