Ingredients

  • cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt sea salt or pink himalayan
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 10 full size Butterfinger candy bars coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃).
    Line two rimmed, metal baking pans with silicone liners or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. About 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add in the vanilla and one egg at a time, mixing and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each one.
  • Gradually add in the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each addition. Mix until the flour is incorporated. Add in the chopped candy bars and mix a few times until through the dough - for large chunks of candy bar in your cookies, be careful not to over mix.
  • Use a 2-tablespoon scoop and place rounded scoops of dough onto prepared pans. I do 10 cookies per pan.
  • Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough.

Notes
