Author: Donna Elick
Servings: 20 cookies
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time9 minutes
cooling time10 minutes
Total Time29 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butterfinger pieces divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the butter and peanut butter together until smooth.
  • Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and cream until combined.
  • Stir in the egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and mix until soft dough forms. Stir in 1/2 cup of butterfinger pieces and mix well.
  • Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls.
  • Place the cookie dough balls about 2” apart on the baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and shape the cookies with a cookie cutter. You can place a cookie cutter on the baking sheet and swirl it around the cookie to help make the cookies perfectly round.
  • Top the cookies with remaining butterfinger pieces and let cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you don’t want to garnish your cookies with butterfinger you can always add all of it at the same time into your cookie dough.
Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Can use crunchy or smooth peanut butter for this recipe (I used the natural Member’s Mark peanut butter from Sam’s).
I love that these cookies are chewy and crunchy at the same time - the pieces of butterfingers really adds burst of flavor in every bite!
