Ingredients
Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins:
- 1 cup finely chopped Butterfinger candy bars (about 3 regular bars)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well incorporated.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
- Combine wet and dry: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces.
- Bake: Scoop out dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Cornstarch helps create a tender, chewy texture.
- For even chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
