BUTTERFINGER CHUNK COOKIES
www.RecipeGirl.com
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cups plus 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1½ cups crushed Butterfingers (about 3 regular-sized bars)
1. Using electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in large bowl until well-blended. Add egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Beat in flour, salt and baking soda. Stir in butterfingers (dough will be moist). Chill cookie dough at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using 1 rounded Tablespoon of dough for each cookie (I use a small cookie scooper), drop cookie dough in mounds onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart (about 8 cookies per sheet; cookies will spread). Bake cookies until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer parchment with cookies to rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Store in airtight container.)
Yield: 24 cookies

“The buttery part of the candy bar melted into the cookie and the chocolate too. Yummy!”
-San Diego, CA“I probably would not make these cookies again. They baked up flat and crispy, and I happen to prefer a chewier cookie. My other complaint about the recipe, although EXTREMELY tasty, is that the butterfinger flavor did not really come through at all. My husband, who loathes butterfingers, ate almost the entire batch & obviously did not detect the butterfinger flavor.”
-Austin, TX“Fabulous! My children and grandchildren and friends loved the cookies, and I have repeated requests to bake them. Better than any restaurant cookie I have eaten!”
“This cookie is GREAT! My mom made them for my son. No joking, he had to hide them so his sisters (and myself) wouldn’t eat them all……but we found them! ha ha We LOVE them!”
-Julie in MS
