Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Crushed Butterfinger candy bars
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Gently fold the crushed Butterfinger candy bars into the dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
