Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in Butterfinger pieces: Fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces.
Bake: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press extra Butterfinger bits on top if desired. Bake for 9–11 minutes until lightly golden.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a chewier texture, slightly underbake and let the cookies finish setting on the baking sheet.
