- 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
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.
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.
