Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups Butterfinger candy bars (chopped into small pieces)
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars and chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the cookie dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
