A very special peanut butter cookie studded with bits of Butterfinger candy. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp |
2 egg whites |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 1/4 cups chunky peanut butter |
1 cup flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
5 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
3. In a food processor, blend sugars, butter, egg whites, and vanilla until light and fluffy, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the work bowl, about 1 minute.
4. Add the peanut butter and process using on/off pulses until combined, about 20 seconds.
5. Add flour, salt and baking soda and blend until just combined using 2 to 3 on/off turns; do not over process.
6. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
7. Cut candy bars into 1/2 inch pieces and stir into dough.
8. Mound dough by 1 1/2 tablespoons onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
9. Flatten slightly using fingers.
10. Bake until dry in appearance and centers are slightly soft to touch, about 15 minutes.
11. Cool on cookie sheets 3 minutes before removing (they will fall apart until the candy hardens up a bit).
12. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
