Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Chill the dough overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll the chilled dough into balls the size of a quarter.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use room temperature eggs and ensure the margarine is completely melted before mixing. If you prefer a chewy texture, don't overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven. You can substitute the Snickers bars with other chocolate candies or even use a gluten-free yellow cake mix for a gluten-free version.
Serving Suggestions
These Snicker Cookies are perfect for a sweet treat or dessert buffet and pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a fun twist, serve them alongside Erin'S Heavenly Salad for a sweet and savory meal. They also make great gifts, especially when packaged in decorative boxes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds or in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of cake mix, such as chocolate or even spice cake. Keep in mind that the flavor profile of the cookies will change depending on your choice, but they will still be delicious!
How do I make these cookies without eggs?
To make eggless Snicker Cookies, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). This will help bind the ingredients without using eggs.
Can I add nuts to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Chopped peanuts or pecans would complement the Snickers bars nicely. Just make sure not to add too many, as the dough should remain manageable for rolling into balls.
