Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened ($0.99)
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed ($0.19)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar ($0.09)
- 1 large egg ($0.15)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ($0.06)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter ($0.59)
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour ($0.20)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder ($0.02)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda ($0.01)
- ¼ teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- 1 cup Butterfinger candy bar pieces, crushed ($1.43)
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients. Mix in egg and vanilla until combined. Add peanut butter and mix until smooth.
- Combine dough. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in candy. Gently fold in crushed Butterfinger pieces until evenly distributed.
- Portion. Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop or about 2 rounded tablespoons. Place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and tops are no longer glossy. Press extra candy pieces on top if desired.
- Cool. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Baking Tip. Let cookies cool fully on the baking sheet before moving to prevent tearing. A greased spatula helps.
- Make Ahead. Refrigerate unbaked dough up to 3 days.
- Storage. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
- Freezing. Freeze unbaked dough or baked cookies after flash-freezing. Store up to 3 months and thaw before using.
