Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, blending well before adding the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute margarine for butter. Toasting the Butterfinger lightly can enhance the flavor.
