Ingredients

  • 1 cup Peanut butter ~ I used Jiff Creamy Natural
  • 1 cup Sugar - regular granulated or beet sugar
  • 1 Lg Egg ~ substitute 3 Tbsp aquafaba for egg-free
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 5 Mini Butterfinger Candy Bars

Instructions

  • Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar. Mix well.
  • Add egg or fake egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Crush 4 Mini (fun size) Butterfinger bars and stir in well.
  • Shape into 1" or a little larger balls and place on a baking sheet. Slightly flatten with a fork to make a crisscross pattern.
  • Top cookies with a few additional crushed Butterfinger candies.
  • Bake 8 minutes for smaller cookies, 13 minutes for larger cookies.
  • Let sit about 3 minutes before removing from pan. These will be slightly crumbly until completely cool…but we always start eating them anyway!
  • Store in an airtight container or freeze leftovers for longer storage.

Notes

Aquafaba is the liquid from canned garbanzo beans. This liquid works wonderfully in egg-free baking. I haven't tried a flax egg with this recipe.
