BUTTERFINGER COOKIES
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 and 1/4 cup peanut butter (chunky or creamy)
1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5 qty - 2.1 oz Butterfinger candy bars, chopped (about 2 cups). You can chop with a chefs knife or place in ziploc bag and crush with rolling pin. Don't use a food processor as it makes the pieces too fine.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars together. Add egg and mix. Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Then add Butterfingers and mix. Roll into 1" balls. Place on un-greased cookie sheet. The recipe did not call for it, but I 'scored' the tops like you would a peanut butter cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool 2 minutes on baking sheet before moving to rack. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
