For the cookies:
1cup creamy peanut butter
1/2cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2cup granulated sugar
1/2cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add Butterfinger: Fold in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars.
Bake: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are set.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra crunch, press a few Butterfinger pieces on top of each dough ball before baking.
