For the Caramel Buttercream:
10. Beat butter until creamy.
11. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating after each addition.
12. Add caramel sauce and vanilla extract; beat until smooth, adjusting consistency as needed.
13. Once cookies are cool, frost with caramel buttercream and sprinkle with remaining Snickers pieces.
14. Chill to set frosting before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, add crushed peanuts to the dough.
Freeze Snickers bars slightly before chopping for easier handling.
Make smaller cookies by using a smaller scoop and adjusting bake time.
Cookies taste best when brought to room temperature after chilling.
Store frosting separately if baking ahead and frost before serving.
