Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 whole Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Mix just until a cohesive dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid over-baking for a softer texture.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your crispy, buttery, and candy-filled Butter Finger Cookies!
