Time 23m

Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups Butterfinger bar, baking bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Comine flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl.

  • Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in Butterfinger bits.
  • Drop by slightly rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before beginning the recipe. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients and will result in a smoother batter.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips. You can also use different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to create different flavor variations.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the butter mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the butter mixture. Overcooking will cause the mixture to become too hard and brittle.
  • For a neater appearance, use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the bites are all the same size and shape.
  • Allow the bites to cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
