Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Light Brown Sugar | 2/3 cup |
| Unsalted Butter | 1/2 cup |
| Vanilla | 2 tsp |
| Chunky Peanut Butter | 1 1/2 cups |
| Flour | 1 1/4 cups |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Baking Soda | 1 1/2 tsp |
| Butterfinger Candy Bars | 5 bars |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
-
Blend sugars, butter, egg whites, and vanilla in a food processor until light and fluffy. This takes about 1 minute, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the work bowl.
-
Add the chunky peanut butter to the mixture and process using on/off pulses until well combined, about 20 seconds.
-
Add flour, salt, and baking soda. Blend until just combined using 2 to 3 on/off turns; do not over process.
-
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
-
Cut the Butterfinger candy bars into 1/2 inch pieces and stir them into the dough.
-
Mound the dough by 1 1/2 tablespoons onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Flatten the dough slightly using your fingers.
-
Bake until the cookies are dry in appearance and the centers are slightly soft to the touch, about 15 minutes.
-
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 3 minutes before removing. They will be delicate until the candy bits harden a bit.
-
Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions:
These Butterfinger Cookies are best enjoyed with a cold glass of milk, or alongside your favorite hot beverage. They make wonderful gifts for friends and family, especially during the holiday season! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long).
Tips for Success:
- Chunky Peanut Butter: For extra texture and nuttiness, use chunky peanut butter in this recipe.
- Butterfinger Crunch: The candy bars add a delightful crunch to these cookies. Feel free to add more or less depending on your preference.
- Cookie Texture: To achieve the perfect texture, be sure not to over-process the dough. A few pulses to combine the ingredients should do the trick.
- Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them. This helps them set and hold their shape.
