Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until completely combined.
  6. Fold in the Butterfinger pieces.
  7. Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon and drop onto a parchment-lined or non-stick baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
  8. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • About 12 fun-sized bars or 5 classic-sized. To break mine, I place them in the freezer for 10 minutes, unwrap, place in a plastic bag, and smack them with a rolling pin until broken. Freezing them (briefly!) first helps keep the chocolate from sticking to the bag.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Recipe updated June 2023. Original recipe can be found here, but I now recommend this new one.
