  • 2 large eggs Binds together the ingredients while providing fluffiness.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Ensures a perfect structure for the cookie dough.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances sweetness and harmonizes flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Pour in the vanilla extract and crack the eggs into the bowl. Beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Gently fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy and caramel bits.
Baking
  1. Scoop out portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, about two inches apart, and flatten slightly.
  2. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are set.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop. Ensure butter is softened for easy creaming. Let eggs reach room temperature for better texture.
