Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- For extra Butterfinger crunch, press a few extra candy pieces on top of each cookie before baking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
