Butterfinger Cookies

This was my first time to make Butterfinger Cookies...I have several cookie recipe books that I usually get my recipes from but this one was given to me from a friend.  Clayton and his girlfriend really like them, but Cheyenne said the batter was better than the cookie.  Clayton has requested Snicker's Cookies...yet another I have never made.  I might have to do some research on that one!




Butterfinger Cookies




1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

2 large egg whites

1 1/4 cups chunky peanut butter

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 (2.1 ounce) Butterfinger Candy Bars, chopped

4.2 ounces milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.

In electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Add egg whites and 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 and chocolate. Using a one ounce cookie scoop, place dough on baking sheet.

Bake for 12 minutes (do not over bake), just till the start to brown. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 3 dozen.

Baking and Blogging...

Love to bake...just starting out on blogging so I am not sure about it yet.  I want to share yummy recipes I try or even create myself.  Yes, like many out there I have been watching too much tv and 'Julie and Julia' was one of those movies that hit home.  I am not working on an entire cook book, I just like to bake (and cook) but I also like to share.  That is what this is about!

Sweet Baking,
Kim
