Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 227g, salted
- 1 cup brown sugar (200g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup peanut butter 240g, creamy
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (375g)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2½ cups Butterfinger candy bars about 12-14 fun-size bars (use 1½ in the dough and reserve the rest for the tops, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamy and light, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
- Add peanut butter and vanilla extract. Beat well, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add the eggs and beat again until combined.
- Add flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Mix just until combined. Stir in 1½ cups of chopped butterfingers into the cookie dough, reserving the remaining chopped candy bars for the tops of the cookies.
- Scoop large balls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a couple of inches apart so they have room to spread. Top each cookie with additional crushed butterfingers, pressing them in so they don't fall off while baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until cookies are set around the edges and slightly underbaked through the middles. Cool on the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: First, roll the cookie dough into balls and place them on a baking tray. Flash freeze the tray, then transfer the frozen dough balls into a Ziploc bag and store them in the freezer. The cookie dough will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
- Storage: For best results, enjoy cookies within 2-3 days and store any leftovers in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap for up to 7 days.
- Freezing: Baked cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Place parchment paper between each cookie before storing them in a sealed container or freezer bag to prevent sticking.
