(Printable Recipe)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 1/4 cups chunky peanut butter (or smooth)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 (2.1 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, chopped
Preheat oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add egg whites; beat well. Blend in peanut butter and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in candy bars. Shape into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. (I use a medium cookie scoop)
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies just start to turn brown. Do not over bake! Let sit on cookie sheet for a few minutes, before transfering to a wire rack. Cool completely.

Love Butterfingers - these sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteButterfingers are one of the few candy bars that I love. Gotta save this recipe.
ReplyDeletethey do sound good. I like PB and BF's too!
ReplyDeleteThese sound dangerously delicious! I love peanut butter, and butterfingers are my favorite candy bar!
ReplyDeleteThese look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW! I love butterfingers! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI do love Butterfingers bars...I wonder how these would be with some ice cream between two of them...yum!
ReplyDeleteI don't even like sweets but these sound like crack to me! Butterfinger cookies? I can only imagine what Homer Simpson would say! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAre these amazing cookies super sweet tasting?
ReplyDeleteI made these cookies tonight for a party at work tomorrow and they are amazing! Cruncy and chewy and delicious. They're sweet but not too sweet. I can see where they'd be good with ice cream. Unfortunately I don't think there's going to be any left after the folks at work taste them for the ice cream experiment. I'm already going to have to hide them from the Monkey tonight so the actually get to work.
ReplyDeleteThese sound great. I just made a chocolate peanut butter cake this past week that I posted on my blog. If you love butterfingers you might want to try this recipe I believe it's dated august 3rd on my blog. The cake is one giant butterfingers.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try your cookies. Thanks for sharing them.
And these are healthy-er since there is only egg whites in the ingredients! ;)
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to make these!
great idea!! sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, these sound sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteSteph, I made these for a food blogger get together last weekend and they are ridiculously good. I think I shoved as much cookie dough in my mouth as I got on the sheet pans.
ReplyDeleteSteph--I made these yesterday and shared them at a family get-together. They are one of my very favorite cookies now. I LOVE them. I'll be posting a blog (with a link to you) about them later tonight.
ReplyDeleteSO good! Thanks for sharing.
Katie-Bar-The-Door and I have made these cookies several times and they are addictive. Just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, do not accidentally substitute low-fat peanut butter for regular. They sit next to each other the shelf and Katie picked up the wrong jar by mistake. Low-fat p.b. has more sugar and less fat, so the chemical reaction in the oven is entirely different. They didn't make cookies, they made a thin, rubbery peanut brittle concoction. Still, the in-laws were present and they got eaten in a single evening.
The cookies, that is, not the in-laws ...
These sound yummy. I think I'm gona make sum
ReplyDeleteI made these in a brownie pan tonight. Delicious!
