Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature preferred
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups chopped/broken Butterfinger pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until completely combined.
- Fold in the Butterfinger pieces.
- Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon and drop onto a parchment-lined or non-stick baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
- 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.
