- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (2.5 oz)
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter (4.5 oz)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (6.25 oz)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla extract; then add the egg until just combined.
- Gradually fold in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until no streaks remain. Gently mix in ¾ cup of chopped Snickers.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out about 16 cookies on the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden but centers are still soft. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Prepare the caramel buttercream by beating unsalted butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and caramel sauce until smooth.
- Frost cooled cookies with the caramel buttercream and sprinkle remaining Snickers on top.
