Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1/4 cup egg alternative
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 cup Butterfinger pieces, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Chop the Butterfinger pieces into bite-sized chunks to ensure even distribution.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, plant-based butter, and egg alternative. Beat together until smooth and creamy, forming the base of your cookie dough.
- Add Flavor Enhancers: Stir in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) to add subtle layers of flavor that complement the peanut butter.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking soda to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined to maintain a tender, chewy dough without overworking.
- Fold in Butterfinger Pieces: Gently fold chopped Butterfinger pieces into the dough, ensuring that every cookie will have a delicious crunchy candy surprise.
- Shape and Bake: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients like butter and peanut butter for better mixing.
- Do not overmix the flour to keep cookies tender and chewy.
- Chop Butterfinger pieces uniformly for consistent texture.
- Cool cookies on the baking tray to let them set before moving to prevent breakage.
- Watch baking time closely to avoid drying out the cookies.
