Ingredients
granulated sugar
3/4 cup
light brown sugar
2/3 cup, packed
unsalted butter
1/2 cup, room temperature
egg whites
2
vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons
chunky peanut butter
1 1/4 cups

1 1/2 teaspoons
Butterfinger candy bars
5 (2 1/8 ounce each) (chopped into 1/2 inch pieces)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
2
In a food processor, combine the granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar, room temperature unsalted butter, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about one minute. Remember to pause once to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
3
Add the chunky peanut butter to the mixture and pulse in short bursts until combined, about 20 seconds.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Then, gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter batter, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-processing to maintain a perfect cookie texture.
5
Transfer the dough into a large bowl. Chop the Butterfinger candy bars into 1/2-inch pieces, and gently fold them into the cookie dough to evenly distribute.
6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, mound the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound slightly with your fingers.
7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they appear dry on the surface and the centers feel slightly soft to the touch.
8
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 3 minutes before carefully transferring them to wire racks. The cookies may seem fragile at first, but they will firm up as they cool completely.
