Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peanut Butterfinger Oatmeal Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those cookies to golden perfection!
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, baking soda, and salt. Pulse until everything is well blended. This step ensures a smooth texture in your cookies.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the extra crunchy peanut butter, packed brown sugar, white sugar, shortening, and softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer. Mix until the mixture is creamy and delightful. This is where the magic begins!
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the vanilla extract and give it another good mix. Your batter should be smooth and inviting.
Step 5
Now, gently stir in the flour mixture you processed earlier. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until you see no dry flour. Finally, fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy, adding a sweet crunch to your cookies!
Step 6
Using a spoon, drop generous 1-inch spoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie. They’ll spread out a bit while baking, so give them room to breathe!
Step 7
Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist!
Step 8
Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful treats with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
