- ½ cup (113.5 g) Butter unsalted
- 8 ounces (8 ounces) Cream Cheese
- ¾ cup (150 g) Sugar white
- ½ cup (110 g) Light brown sugar
- ½ cup (129 g) Peanut Butter
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Vanilla Extract
- 2 (2) Eggs
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Kosher Salt
- 1 ½ cup (354.88 g) Butterfinger Bits
- ½ cup (73 g) Roasted chopped peanuts (optional)
Weigh or measure the white and light brown sugars into one bowl and set that aside. Next, weigh or measure the flour, baking powder, salt and run a whisk through to blend.
Add the butter and cream cheese to a mixer bowl and blend for a minute. Next, add the sugars and mix on a medium mixer speed for 3 minutes. Next, add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Now, add one egg at a time until the eggs have been incorporated. Next, I scrape down the sides and gradually add the flour at a low mixer speed.
Take the bowl off the mixer stand, and with a one-piece spatula, make sure all the flour has been mixed into the wet batter. Finally, fold in the Butterfinger Bits. Try and get the bits spread evenly throughout the batter--cover and chill for 1 hour.
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C). Use a medium cookie scooper to place 12 cookie dough mounds onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet pan for even-size cookies. Bake for 11-13 minutes and let them sit on the sheet pan for a minute after pulling them from the oven. Finally, move the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
