Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Sweet Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F (175°C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Grab a medium bowl and whisk 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate large bowl, cream ½ cup softened unsalted butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
- Crack 1 large egg into the butter mixture and pour in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until the ingredients are perfectly blended.
- Slowly incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined – don’t overmix your dough.
- Crush 1 ¼ cups Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces, then carefully fold them into the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie 2 inches apart.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges.
- Remove the cookies and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set their structure.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, allowing them to reach room temperature completely before serving.
Notes
- Crush Butterfinger bars into small, uneven pieces for maximum flavor distribution and texture variation in every cookie bite.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and help maintain the cookies’ shape.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a high-quality gluten-free baking blend that includes xanthan gum.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
