When I first saw this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine I had some doubts. I mean, I like Butterfinger candy bars...but in cookies? I tried it anyway (because I really, really do like the candy). I'm glad I did, they turned out to be very good and this is now one of my family's favorite cookies.
1/2 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 1/4 c. chunky peanut butter
1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 c. flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
5 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 ounces each), chopped
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 greased baking sheets. I use parchment paper instead and highly recommend it over greasing the pan. The cookies come off the paper without any problem and you don't have to wash crusted on cookie bits from the baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
