Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (150 g) crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1/2 cup (100 g) caramel bits
- 1/2 cup (85 g) chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Stir in crushed Butterfinger candy bars, caramel bits, and chocolate chips if using.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Make sure butter and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft or sticky.’, ‘Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.’, ‘Slightly underbake the cookies for a gooey, soft center.’]
