Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups Butterfinger candy bars, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press down on each ball of dough with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked; they will set as they cool.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
