Ingredients

Scale

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 Butterfinger bars (chopped)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg; mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces gently.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.
