Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the butter mixture.
Fold in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overbake; cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
Store in an airtight container to keep cookies soft and chewy.
